Technopolis

Technopolis is a term coined from the word "technology" and the suffix -polis, which means city in Greek. The term has many specific meanings, with the common one being the place related to hi-tech industry.

For example, the term "technopolis" is used to describe an area, city or metropolis with a high-tech industry. A notable example would be San Jose, CA in the heart of the Silicon Valley, known for explosive growth electronic industry there. Another notable example would be Tokyo, Japan.

A number of technopolises, also known as technology parks have been deliberately sponsored in order to promote the development of hi-tech in a partiular area and to repeat the success of the Silicon Valley. Examples are Sophia Antipolis, France and Astropolis, Lapland, Finland.

Technopolises are usually the hubs of high-tech marketing.
