In my opinion, tech hubs need:

* Open minded culture

* Top research facilities (i.e. Multiple top universities)

* Low cost of living, high quality of life

* Large customer markets

Just because Libson has a low cost of living doesn't mean it will take off. The cost of living is low in lots of South American Cities. Does that mean they will all be the next San Fran?

Care to name a few tech hubs that have a low cost of living?

Austin, Texas in the U.S.? While the cost in dollars may be cheap, I would definitely consider there to be steep non-monetary costs to living there.

I don't think Austin is considered cheap except compared to new York and SF
