Introduction

Located in the southern section of the San Francisco Bay Area in Northern California, the Silicon Valley has been a hub of technology throughout its history. It has more recently become the center of high-tech innovation in the United States and the world. It is now characterized by the large number of high-tech companies, engineers and venture capitalists in the area.

Though the Silicon Valley was generally considered the center of the dot-com bubble and its subsequent burst in 2000, it is also the center of the new, rebuilt high-tech market that grew from those ashes.

With the unmatched opportunities and resources for the high-tech sector, the Silicon Valley is a natural choice for companies the world over looking to expand their market in that sector. Here you will find links to the various agencies and contacts you need to get your company started in the Silicon Valley.
