“Geography is destiny.” – Napoleon Bonaparte
Technology development in the United States has recently been concentrated in a handful of regions, like Silicon Valley or the Northeast Corridor. Oceanit was founded in Hawaii; not just outside this traditional “loop,” but remote from it: 2,500 miles from the U.S. Mainland and 4,000 miles from Japan. Yet, Honolulu is the 11th largest city in the US and is a major hub for military and trade. In this episode, Patrick K. Sullivan and Catherine Cruz discuss the pervasive, outdated feeling that technology innovation can only spring from a few chosen cities, and how that’s no longer true. Dr. Sullivan shares how geography is not destiny when it comes to innovation, with tools like the internet, jet travel, and global connectivity.
