McKinsey Digitial has gone through the process of analyzing Patent data and tracking the number, growth, and diversity of patents issude between the yearss 1997 to 2006. The information has been broken down into three different catagories: 'hot springs' are small, fast-growing hubs, 'dynamic oceans' consist of vibrant ecosystems with continuous creation, and 'silent lakes' have been unable to expand beyond their start-up core and are slowly migrating down the chain. The results are surprising with Kiel, Germany and Miyazaki, Japan, being the most up-and-coming innovations, while New York, Chicago, and Philadelphia lacking in innovation.
