Scenarios about 'Silicon Valley North'
A nickname for the technology and innovation hub centered in Ottawa, Canada, which emerged in the 1990s as a significant concentration of telecommunications and software companies. This region became Canada's answer to California's Silicon Valley, fueled by companies like Nortel Networks and Corel, though it later faced challenges during the dot-com bust. In alternate history scenarios, Silicon Valley North often represents how different technological development paths might have shifted global tech leadership away from the United States.
