Which Cities are the New Tech Hotbeds?

According to Entrepreneur Magazine, forget Silicon Valley. When it comes to technology companies, Atlanta; Austin, Texas; and Boise, Idaho, are where it's at these days. The magazine checked to see what kinds of companies are booming in these cities, what attracts entrepreneurs to the cities and what areas will be growing over the next decade. While very different, each ranked high as a technology business location.

All three cities have very good to excellent potential as tech hotbeds, but I am not quite ready to write-off the Silicon Valley as a major force in the tech competition in the years ahead. Look for the Valley to reinvent itself, coupling its IT strengths with other important technology areas, such as the life sciences.
