Alternate Timelines

Scenarios about 'innovation hubs'

Innovation hubs are concentrated geographic areas where research institutions, businesses, and talent converge to foster technological advancement and economic development. These ecosystems, like Silicon Valley or Singapore's Biopolis, accelerate progress through knowledge sharing, venture capital access, and collaborative networks. In alternate history scenarios, the location and focus of innovation hubs often diverge significantly, creating different technological trajectories and power distributions across civilizations.
