Planting High-Technology Seeds Tektronix’s Role in the Creation of Portland’s Silicon Forest

Posted on by

I have requested permission from Heike Mayer, Ph.D., Assistant Professor in Urban Affairs and Planning at Virginia Tech, for permission to reprint her article Planting High-Technology Seeds Tektronix's Role in the Creation of Portland's Silicon Forest on our website. As many of you know, she was a Doctoral Candidate at PSU, and became known for her research on Silicon Forest startups, and production of the newer versions of Silicon Forest Universe wall charts. I believe the original chart was produced by KVO, an advertising agency founded by ex-Tek's, Steve Karakas, Sharon Vansickle, and Pierre Ouellette. For now, you can read Heike's article at: http://www.jstor.org/pss/20615587

  1. I have noted the error regarding Howard’s 1986 death in a plane crash (Howard died of a stroke)and will ask Heike to change this statement.
