A lot of the US brain power are foreign born, US schooled "working permit" and "green card" holders. In addition to setting up a venture infrastructure, foreign countries need to set up attractive programs to keep or repatriate their best and brightest foreign educated kids. "But how are you gonna keep 'em down on the farm..." to borrow a phrase from an old song. This brain drain is a global phenomenon and will always bias towards the more established centers of commerce.

The process of decentralizing the lower profitability components of the manufacturing flow, such as "assembly" and "test" steps in the integrated circuit manufacturing flow has been in effect for a long time. Centers of commerce such as Singapore and Penang have built upon this and flourished. Even now the more complex and value added steps such as "fab" and "design" are also decentralizing. But is it enough ? Will lesser developed countries be able to achieve the critical mass required ? And can they sustain ?
