Portland, Eugene, and Springfield Oregon
Oregon has become a major tech hub just over the past few years. Portland especially has invited companies such as Apple, Intel, Xerox, Salesforce.com and IBM to its city.
Charleston, South Carolina
Blackbaud, Boeing, and Google have made the city boom as a tech hub. Even though the city is the 75th largest city in the country, it is one of the ten fastest-growing tech hubs. TwitPic and Amazon’s CreateSpace are major entities coming out of Charleston.
