high-tech corridor

Tech company cluster

A high-tech corridor is a geographic region—typically along a highway or between cities—known for its concentration of technology companies, research institutions, and related industries.

Silicon Valley is the most famous example, but many regions cultivate their own: the Route 128 corridor outside Boston, Austin's high-tech corridor.

The term emphasizes both the clustering effect and the linear geography often involved.
