    • 1994, David V. Gibson, Everett M. Rogers, R & D Collaboration on Trial: The Microelectronics and Computer Technology Corporation, page 179:
      “Techno” reflects an emphasis on technology; “polis” is Greek for city-state and suggests a balance between public and private sectors. The plural form of the word “polis” is “poleis”; therefore, we use the plural “technopoleis” rather than “technopolises” or “technopoli”.
