Description

研究の概要(英文)：Silicon Valley Index 2015, an annual report of a regional research institution of Silicon Valley concludes that San Francisco has been growing rapidly as an important economic engine in the San Francisco Bay Area. Some of the economic indicators tell us that the momentum of San Francisco has surpassed Silicon Valley. The venture capital investments of San Francisco hasreached a comparable level to Silicon Valley. Thegrowth rate of Angel investments, relative job growth and patent registration numbers of San Francisco have exceeded those of Silicon Valley(2014 Ⅰ - Ⅲ ). It seems that San Francisco has become the destination of flights for creative class attracted by Florida's 3T factors (talent · technology · tolerance). It would also appear the ICT evolution has moved the center of economic gravity of San Francisco Bay area to the north. It may also indicate that the beginning of the coexistence of capitalism and collaboratism has begun in San Francisco as a futurist Jeremy Refkin pointed out in his book of Zero Marginal Cost Society. This paper attempts to analyze the current situation of San Francisco's SOMA (South of Market) district, focussing on ICT start-ups, by various literature covering such fields as urban development, industrial clusters and careerstudies, and Mr. Fujiwara's field study conductedin August, 2015. The topics discussed are the accumulation of recent ICT start-ups, the influence of the urban structure made by the urbanredevelopment, the social application stage of ICTevolution and its business-model as well as lifestyle and careers of entrepreneurial creative class.
