Where in the world would you find one of 15 hottest, up-and-coming cities for conducting business? Thats a question posed by Fortune Magazine when it recently set out to find the next business hot spots.

That would be Salt Lake City, Utah, which is—not coincidentally—the home of the University of Utah.  The U, as Fortune pointed out in its commentary about the factors that foster innovation, claims the top spot in the nation for start-up companies from university research.
