Silicon Valley has long been known as a hub for tech innovation, but unfriendly US immigration policies sometimes keep foreign innovators out. Marty Max, a Cuban immigrant, and Dario\u00a0Mutabdzija, of the former Yugoslavia, have proposed a floating city for foreign innovators to get around this problem. Blueseed will be a converted cruise ship moored in international waters some 22 km from San Francisco. As Michael Posner at\u00a0The Globe and Mail<\/a>\u00a0points out Blueseed is not the first attempt at seasteading.<\/p>\n
