business hub

Economic activity nexus

A business hub is a place where commercial activity concentrates—a city, district, or facility that serves as a center for companies, entrepreneurs, and professional services.

The term often describes coworking spaces or office complexes designed to foster networking: The new business hub downtown has meeting rooms and a shared café.

Cities like London and Singapore position themselves as global business hubs.
