Silicon Valley in California is the world’s leading IT cluster. However, to drive innovation even further, there is a need for healthy competition. This fact was stressed by Google’s executive chairman Eric Schmidt at the Le Web conference in Paris in December. European managing director of Facebook, Joanna Shields, also agreed with Schmidt that the European IT cluster would be in a city, where innovation is starting to happen. She further gave examples of London, Paris and Berlin as the top candidates. Other industry experts also emphasize the importance of Barcelona, Amsterdam and Madrid as the next important IT city clusters.
