English term or phrase: global powerhouse
London is a *global powerhouse*.
By concentrating in London, banks, securities houses, dealers in commodities and derivatives, insurers and shipping companies create a critical mass. More foreign banks locate in London than any other global centre. Many men and women come to work in London from New York, Milan, Hong Kong, Frankfurt, Tokyo, and other cities and become part of the fabric of a great capital.

Webster's dictionary:

pow[er[house 7p/$!r h/s#8
n.
1 a building where electric power is generated
2 [Informal] a powerful person, team, etc.


Т.е., "power" здесь ключевое слово. Из контекста не видно, чтобы акцент в данном случае делался на генерации (генераторе) именно идей, решений и т.д. Чай, не think tank какой
