Hubs, centres of industry and knowledge

I think I would keep it simple:

6. m. Persona o cosa considerada como el centro de algo, y en torno a la cual gira lo demás.
DRAE

although depending on your context 'focal points' may work as well.

Hubs, fulcrums of industry and knowledge

Hubs and ejes more or less refer to the same thing here, so we need a synonym for hubs, and the best thing I can come up with is fulcrums.

industrial and knowledge hubs

The only reason why it says "ejes" is to explain the meaning of the English word "hubs". "Hubs, centres" is a tautology.
Peer comment(s):

agree Nedra Rivera Huntington : I agree, although I might simply say "hubs of industry and knowledge" depending on the sentence.
