Give a few examples of industries that have clustered in a certain region in US.
Silicon valley is one of the biggest cluster in US.
When people think of the largest companies in Silicon Valley, computer and digital giants such as Apple (AAPL), Alphabet/Google (GOOGL), and Facebook (FB) are the first that come to mind. However, successful public companies within Silicon Valley extend beyond the technology sector—especially if you extend the traditional Silicon Valley borders a bit to the north and northeast to include Contra Costa County and the city of San Francisco itself.
Also include Wells Fargo & Co. (WFC), Visa, Inc. V) and Chevron Corporation (CVX), as non-tech, multinational majors firms that all have their headquarters in Silicon Valley.
