Dear Members, There has been lots of discussions on "How to make the next Silicon Valley" world-wide with governments spending billions of dollars in various programs and failing.
Paul Graham argues in "Can you buy a Silicon Valley. Maybe" http://www.paulgraham.com/maybe.html that for a Billion dollars anywhere could become the number two startup hub globally. Another argument is creating a "Founders Visa", http://www.paulgraham.com/foundervisa.html that is a visa for people who start businesses would simplify and reduce the cost of becoming a startup hub. Without going into the complexities of the Australian Immigration system, I think under the currents rules it would be possible to create a virtual 'Founders Visa'. It would involve using either Occupational Trainee Visa (Subclass 442) or Professional Development Visa (Subclass 470). There is also a possibility for using some the student visas. What do people think about get more smart people in Australia to start businesses.
