Understanding the entrepreneurial ecosystem and characteristics of Silicon Valley.
Silicon Valley's uniqueness lies in its ability to foster an excellent entrepreneurial ecosystem, key to establishing an environment conducive to talent entrepreneurship, innovation, knowledge sharing, and collaborative cooperation, rather than solely investing in infrastructure or imitating external characteristics of Silicon Valley.
Causality: The development of excellent startups catalyzes the formation of the Silicon Valley entrepreneurial ecosystem. It is not the Silicon Valley ecosystem that makes it easier for startups to succeed. Causality cannot be reversed.

The secret of Silicon Valley's success: The core of Silicon Valley's success lies in "talent" and "technological innovation."
