software companies in
the cluster, which cover
the “platform” end
• Communication
companies in the cluster,
are in the rapidly
growing mobile apps
group

Lets recap:
• There IS a technology cluster
• It creates interesting technologies and
substantial revenues
• But investors overlook it, channeling funds to
more “traditional” technologies in FinTech
• Or maybe, it just generates enough of its own
capital…
