high-tech hub

Silicon Valley type

A high-tech hub is a city or region where technology companies and innovation concentrate.

Silicon Valley is the archetypal example, but cities worldwide compete for the label: Austin has emerged as a high-tech hub.

The term implies not just tech presence but an ecosystem—startups, venture capital, research universities, and skilled workers clustering together.
