to be strongly on the move
This is a good phrase, methinks. I have seen it used in many business projections and reports.
Example sentence:
Rotterdam is also strongly on the move in the audio-visual field; it now numbers dozens of media and entertainment companies.

: This is good, but fails to capture the idea of the strength involved, jumping on the bandwagon is a more passive activity. You know, you just jump, and the wagon does the rest. :)
