Abstract
This paper discusses the characteristics of the software industry ecosystem in Seattle, U.S. since the 2000s and its new deployment. The software industry began to cluster from the early 1980s in Seattle, and the rapid growth of Microsoft has formed a world-class software industry ecosystem in that city. Microsoft has indirectly produced a large number of entrepreneurs, engineers, venture capitalists, and business angels in Seattle. This Seattle ecosystem consists of around 2500 establishments, including Microsoft, universities, colleges, researhc institutions educational institutions, venture capitalists, and a local business organization, which have played an active role in this ecosystem. Software and IT human capital exceeding 100,000 are gathered in Seattle, including various specialists, and learning systems in companies and in the metropolitan area. This large pool of human capital has contributed to the development of new industries in the fields of gaming and biotechnology as well as to the acquisition of a competitive edge by the aerospace industry.
