You don't.
If you want a future Google (etc.) to be located there, you make the same kind of massive public investments over an extended period that created Silicon Valley, which also provides jobs there — but not from a Google-equivalent — in the interim.
Or, you subsidize people moving to where the jobs are now: geography doesn't need jobs, people do.
