Silicon Valley is the clearing house for the most
advanced software in the world. If it’s not
created here, it comes here to compete. Within
an hour’s drive there are over 11,000 young
companies and over 150 global players.
!
Even multinationals know that they need to
absorb this DNA. According to the Harvard
Business Review, “over 200 multinationals have
set up a strategic beachhead in Silicon Valley.”
!
They know that what happens in the Valley today
will, in a short time, unleash profound changes in
local markets. Being part of it today is the
difference between riding the top of the wave of
innovation or being drowned by it.

AccessUp puts Silicon Valley in your corner
without the cost and risk of building your own
organization.
