technology hubs

Silicon Valley types

Technology hubs are cities or regions where tech companies, startups, and talent concentrate.

Silicon Valley is the archetypal technology hub, but the term now applies to any area with dense clusters of innovation-driven businesses, venture capital, and skilled workers: Austin has emerged as a major technology hub.

The singular form often appears as a modifier: a technology hub city.
