Will groundbreaking technology for the iPhone 5 be developed in Rockingham County?
By Scott Rogers • October 25, 2011
Probably not, but there is still some exciting Siri-related news for our local economy.... Known facts.... Siri is a revolutionary personal assistant application on the recently released iPhone 4S. Apple bought Siri in April 2010. Siri was developed as a project of SRI International. SRI International opened a campus in the Shenandoah Valley in 2009. So....what does it mean? OK, admittedly, SRI Shenandoah Valley might not develop a component of the next iPhone, but I think the storyline above points out the enormous upside potential of this developing research and technology company right here in Rockingham County. Per the Shenandoah Valley Partnership, SRI's Center for Advanced Drug Research (CADRE), will focus "on improving the productivity of the pharmaceutical industry, helping the nation respond to bio-threats, and developing life-saving treatments for neglected and orphan diseases." I think this is rather exciting for our local economy!
