Why Silicon Valley kicks Europe's buttLoic Le Meur
I love Europe and I created 7 years ago LeWeb with my wife Geraldine to help european entrepreneurs get more competitive, but Pablo Larguia and Jose-Maria Figueres invited me to keynote La Red Innova on the reasons why Silicon Valley is ahead.
I wanted to be honest and share a few reasons why I think Silicon Valley wins, some are easy to fix, others much more complicated.
I think the most important one is what goal you set for yourself. If your goal is to dominate Madrid or Paris in your niche, you might just succeed, but if you set yourself such a local goal, there is low chance you’re actually going to build a global success and be the best in the world at what you do.
It’s the key, most people I know in Silicon Valley dream about building a world leader, not a local leader, it’s a question of attitude, and THAT is easy to change. Think more in english and more global, you might be able to achieve your dreams, but they have to be the right dreams.

11. “The rise of Silicon Valley has garnered
worldwide attention because it seemed to
offer the possibility that a region with no
prior industrial history could make a direct
leap to a leading-edge industrial economy,
given the right set of elements, without the
time and effort required to pass through any
intermediate stages of development. “
Helga Tawil, “Silicon Valley's Table of Elements” , Dec. 2000
12. “The idea that so much growth could occur in
so short a time within such a small
geographic area has sent planning bodies and
government agencies from Albuquerque to
Zimbabwe scramming to grow the next
Silicon Valley in their backyards (Miller and
Cote 1985). “
Helga Tawil, “Silicon Valley's Table of Elements” , Dec. 2000
13. “The model of Silicon Valley has become the
Holy Grail of economic development.”
“Nowadays, virtually every government in the
world seems to want to create its own Silicon
Valley. “
Helga Tawil, “Silicon Valley's Table of Elements” , Dec. 2000
14. One article mentions that “at the last count, no fewer than
72 places had billed themselves as the “next” silicon Valley
The U.S. alone is home to Silicon Desert (Utah), Silicon Alley
(New York), Silicon Hills (Austin) and Silicon Forest (title fought
over between Seattle and Portland), among many others.
Taiwan, Israel, India and Britain all boast respectable imitations.
Some of the more unlikely aspirants include:
▪ France's Cote d'Azur (“Europe's California”),
▪ Egypt's Pyramid Technology Park, and
▪ Malaysia's “Multimedia Super Corridor,” a 478 square mile area and $40
billion set aside by the Prime Minister for his own version of Silicon
Valley, that will include an IT city of 100,000 people. (Mickelthwait
1997).
Helga Tawil, “Silicon Valley's Table of Elements” , Dec. 2000
15. Silicon Valley of Europe?
“Will it be "in Romania, Sweden, Holland, Ireland,
France?". When I asked which region was most
likely to emerge as Europe’s Silicon Valley, the
answers were all over the map: London, Munich,
Berlin, Zurich, Geneva, even Barcelona. …”

16. The cluster effect is similar to (but not the same
as) the network effect.
A business cluster is a geographic concentration
of interconnected businesses, suppliers, and
associated institutions in a particular field.
Clusters are considered to increase the
productivity with which companies can
compete, nationally and globally.
17. Governments and companies often try to use
the cluster effect to promote a particular
place as good for a certain type of business.
For example, the city of Bangalore, India has
utilized the cluster effect in order to convince
a number of high-tech companies to setup
shop there.
Similarly, Las Vegas has benefited through
the cluster effect of the gambling industry.

computer technology

37. Do you remember our class discussion on the
“3R’s” of entrepreneurship?
38. R - risk
R- relationships
R – reputation
This lecture:
Using social media –to build network, project
Reputation (3 R’s) Reputation
Tools:
▪ – linkedin – facebook – twitter – google – orkut, etc…
39. Reputation
▪ Not just among your friends & family…
▪ But, how is your reputation online?
▪ If a future employer were to GOOGLE your name, what would
he / she find?
▪ Note: everyone in today's world has TONS of photos online
they would rather employers not see (remember that spring-
break vacation? Once content is online, its there forever!)
▪ The goal is not to remove all traces of your past from online,
but to make sure that there is enough professional material
that will come FIRST.
▪ So if an employer/ partner / business associate… if they were
to google your name… what would they find? Are you giving
off the right image? Are you MANAGING THAT IMAGE?
40. Reputation
▪ Investors invest in competent entrepreneurs
▪ Business partners join reputable leaders
▪ Employees risk working for an entrepreneurs if they believe in them
▪ Reputation is essential
▪ Embrace risk, don’t fear failure, but manage your reputation (online
especially!!)
▪ Build with online tools
▪ LinkedIn
▪ Blogs, networks
▪ In a future class (coming soon) we will look at social media (online tools) that
you can use to manage your online REPUTATION
41. Relationships
▪ With clients, bosses, teachers, alumni, networks
▪ Entrepreneurs must be the PR department, the
marketing department, the sales department
▪ You are the face of the company (so keep smiling)
▪ Build your network of influential people, and ASK THEM
TO HELP YOU!!
▪ Maintain with online tools
42. ▪ Suggestion: actively try to take risk
everyday (get into habit) + work to build
your reputation + relationships
59. Twitter:
100 million+ users, with 50 million tweets sent each day.
Facebook :
nearing 500 million users. The average user has 130
friends, spends 55 minutes a day on the site and receives
three "event invitations" to real-life gatherings every
month (in December 2009, the company stated that 3.5
million events were created every month).
Next? According to The New York Times, Facebook will
soon incorporate 'location' in two ways: its own features
for sharing location
LinkedIn :
over 65 million members. A new member joins LinkedIn
approximately every second.

67. (Reuters) - Social media company Twitter is
struggling to craft a profitable business model,
but the Web-based service has helped Dell Inc
chalk up millions of dollars in sales.
Dell said on Thursday it has raked in more than
$3 million from Twitter followers who clicked
through its posts to its Web sites to make
purchases. The company, which has posted to
Twitter about two years and tracks the sales
with proprietary software, made more than $1
million in the past 6 months.
Reuters.com, “Twitter helps Dell rake in sales”, Fri Jun 12, 2009
68. Dell said it posts 6 to 10 times a week to its DellOutlet
account, which is where the majority of Twitter-based
sales have come from. Stephanie Nelson, who
manages the account, said almost every post includes
a coupon or a link to a sale, and about half of the posts
are Twitter-exclusive deals.
The PC maker, which has about 600,000 followers, is
one of the Top 100 most-followed accounts on Twitter,
according to private trackers TwitterCounter and
Twitterholic.
Other non-media companies ranked in the Top 100
include Whole Foods Market Inc, Woot.com,
Zappos.com, JetBlue Airways Corp.
Reuters.com, “Twitter helps Dell rake in sales”, Fri Jun 12, 2009
69. Different ways to communicate…
Examples…
Simple: Post and broadcast 1 to many
@forumnexus – to send message to staff
#forumnexus – to talk to group
▪ Other name for this trip?
70.
71. Twitter had approximately 17 million unique
U.S.-based visitors in April, and about 24
million worldwide, according to Nielsen. Its
number of users has grown by more than a
thousand percent over the last year.

75. Check out this fun video: "United Breaks
Guitars", and if you are taking our
"International Marketing" class, think about
how much $ a company like United would
need to pay in traditional advertising to
compensate for the reputational-damage
caused by one angry (and very talented)
customer. (note: this song went to #1 in
Apple iTunes, and has been viewed by
millions on YouTube)

77. Search “intercambio” (study abroad in

• Will we move toward era of FIXED FX?
▫ emerging markets DOLLARIZE?
▫ More countries to join the EURO?
▫ US / euro move to fixed?
▫ New Breton Woods?
• Or, move toward more flexibility?
▫ “Dollar Bloc” move toward flexibility?
