: yes, you see this in examples of trade capacity-building efforts. Sometimes they're simply referred to as trade hubs.

Glen McCulley
: but in france the 'pole de competitivité' is designated by the government, since there's public (not 'trade hub' = private) funding involved

: it depends on Laura's market (for her client), but I like hub (OK it's overused in IT, but that's not the case here)

competitiveness cluster
I think both previous answers could be right (competitive cluster & competitiveness centre) but this is what I found.
As in:
French competitiveness clusters unveiled
French Prime Minister Dominique de Villepin has announced the six industrial clusters and 61 competitiveness clusters or 'pôles de compétitivité' that will receive funding 'in an effort to redraw and modernise the industrial map of this country'.
