technology hub

Silicon Valley type

A technology hub is a city or region with a dense concentration of tech companies, startups, and related institutions.

Silicon Valley is the archetypal example, but many cities claim the title: Austin has become a major technology hub.

The term implies not just company presence but an ecosystem of venture capital, talent, and innovation culture.
