economic hub
Regional business nexus
An economic hub is a city or region that serves as a central point for commerce, finance, and trade within a larger area.
Businesses cluster there, goods flow through it, and economic activity radiates outward: Singapore is the economic hub of Southeast Asia.
The term emphasizes concentration and connectivity—a place where money, talent, and opportunity gather.
