We certainly have the educational infrastructure in place for that; Northwestern & UofC are the two that would compare most favorably against the likes of Harvard and MIT, as well as UIC, LUC, DePaul, IIT, etc. playing backup roles. UofI's planned tech incubator in The 78 should hold a lot of promise when it comes to attracting tech companies in general I would imagine.
What is San Diego's magnet for tech/life sciences firms? I get the weather is great, but there must be some other reason for that. UCSD?
