Tech trend: Is it the end of the ZIP code monopoly on innovation?
The next generation of tech talent isn’t moving to innovation hubs — it’s building them locally.
What’s driving the shift:
Remote work is leveling the playing field
Boise, Raleigh, and Utah are rising fast
LATAM cities like Medellín and Guadalajara are surging in remote hires
Companies are embracing fully distributed, skills-based teams
Key data:
10.8 job listings per new CS grad in the U.S.
Georgia Tech produces more CS grads than NYU + UPenn combined
BairesDev saw a 285% increase in LATAM remote applicants over 5 years
Innovation doesn’t belong to ZIP codes anymore — it belongs to connectivity, capability, and career growth. Whether you're in Idaho or Argentina, the tech map has officially redrawn itself.
