Tech hub

"Technology Hub" redirects here. For the company, see Technology Hub (Mexico).

A tech hub is an area that houses a significant concentration of high tech companies and related institutions. Entire cities may be considered tech hubs for their respective countries or broader regions, while certain tech hubs may be suburbs within cities.

Tech hubs often contain both large, established tech companies, as well as startups and startup incubators and accelerators. They may also be home to universities and other educational institutions that cater towards computer science and other tech-related degrees.

Tech hubs are distinct from technology parks (alternatively called research parks). While a tech hub is an area (such as a city) with a concentration of high tech businesses, a technology park is a property development established for the purpose of housing and fostering collaboration between tenant firms, and is often affiliated with a university, government, or private research institution.
