Aussies come to Silicon Valley

"The world is flat, but some places are flatter than others. Namely Silicon Valley."

A French chief executive now in Silicon Valley told me that at a dinner party recently. He says that even with the rise of Silicon Valleys in the world, only this Valley has the tech trifecta: talent, innovation and venture capitalists in the backyard.

He's not alone.

Twelve tech companies from Australia are showing off their wares today in Sunnyvale to attract American customers and venture capital.

And earlier this week, 60 Mexican companies, mostly tech and biotech firms, were in the Valley to try out for 12 slots at TechBA, Mexico's incubator program in San Jose.

Christo Columbus would be proud.
