"We are making this area not only the city center, but the world center. The ideological plan will be combined with the physical plan. There will be a large investment in the public sphere. As soon as the innovation and technology concerns enter, I assume that entrepreneurship will also enter the picture, and then we'll also begin urban renewal. We will renew the public institutions. We have decided that we are leading the change; we won't wait any longer. You know how they laughed at us eight years ago, when we said that we'd make a technology center here? It was obvious to me that we had the necessary quality of higher education and human capital quality. We decided that if Silicon Valley was founded in the great US, we would found Silicon Wadi here." |
