When journalist Don Hoefler first coined the term “Silicon Valley” in the early 1970s, the San Francisco Bay and Santa Clara valley region had already been home to thriving tech companies for decades.

Then future titans like Apple and Adobe joined the scene, and the region really started to take off.

Today, Silicon Valley is responsible for about 3% of US GDP. Given that its geographical size is just 0.1% of the country’s land mass, that’s a pretty good use of resources.

Now imagine you are the leader of a country… and that you have the power to snap your fingers and do the same thing— boost economic output by 3% by giving up just 0.1% of your land mass.
