Silicon Valley Coming to North Caucasus?

The North Caucasus region of Russia hopes to rival Moscow and St. Petersburg in setting up its own version of a high-tech Silicon Valley.  The blueprint for the joint venture would establish a high-tech hub, focused on making silicon parts for solar power systems.  According to the plan, five North Caucasus federal districts would be involved in the project, each playing a role in supply and production of raw materials.  The plan hopes to take advantage of anticipated global growth in the solar energy market, with an expectation that the $1 billion project could break even in two to seven years.
