London is a hot spot for financial businesses, even technological businesses; however, Silicon Valley in the US is one of the top places for technological research. In January London braced for an invasion of Silicon Valley scientists, engineers and technologists to come for a conference. These employees were sent to London in order to share their newest projects with the UK.
A lot of the technology coming from Silicon Valley has to do with computers and other electronics. London as a mostly financial center often relies on other countries for their advanced research. London also has some of the top professors at their universities, which makes a conference between the US and UK important for sharing ideas as well as technologies that are in production.
