US Dominates Additions To Silicon60 List
Here's an interesting factoid. All the new entrants to EE Times Silicon 60 list of up and coming semiconductors are based in the US, exept for one, Light Blue Optics Ltd. (Cambridge, England).
While many of the startups that are on the list for the second, third, and even fourth time are from Europe and other parts of the world, the first timers this time are mainly from the US.
Can we draw any conclusions from this development - is Silicon Valley flexing its IP muscle - are other regions lagging in innovation? We asked Peter Clarke at EE Times who manages and edits the list.
The short answer is, no.
"... I don't think you can read that much into it. This is a noisy signal," said Clarke.
So what does the lone Euro new entrant to Silicon 60 do? Nothing less than developing the guts for personal video projectors that are low-power enough to be embedded in mobile phones. We've got a post on it coming up later.
