How green is SA’s Silicon Valley?

It's a bit of a stretch to compare Gauteng's Innovation Hub to Silicon Valley!

This statement for one is a big disqualifyier IMO:

The main criticism of the Innovation Hub is the lack of a specific and determined focus on gender issues and issues relating to addressing historical inequalities in the engineering and ICT sectors. There is plentiful evidence to suggest that most companies that are successful in the Innovation Hub are either white-owned or have an empowerment component with blacks focusing largely on the softer side of business, such as marketing.

As soon as you start looking to satisfy external pressures it's bound to be a mess. This is about encouraging innovative IT business not an ethical committee ... so the focus must be on IT. To get involved in that other stuff will mean you have to water down your focus .
