Question from BPSC PT 70, 2024
Correct Answer: a) Silicon Valley
Explanation:
Technopolis
A technopolis refers to a region or area that is highly concentrated with technology-based industries, research institutions, and innovation hubs. It is characterized by a strong focus on technological development, innovation, and entrepreneurship. Silicon Valley, located in California, USA, is widely recognized as a technopolis because it is home to numerous technology companies, startups, and research centers. It has become a global hub for technological innovation and development.
On the other hand, cities like London, Paris, and Moscow are major urban centers but are not specifically known as technopolises in the same way Silicon Valley is.
