A prominent example of an escalating technical progress in the recent past was information and communication technologies (ICTS.
or cellular telephone communication (the technological principles have been discovered in the 1920s). For many new technologies, the most important applications are often out of sight in early stages of technology development.
The field of photonics relates to optical technology applications in the areas of lasers, lithography, optical measurement systems, microscopes, lenses, optical communication, digital photography, LEDS and OLEDS, displays
There is some overlap to micro-and nanoelectronics in the area of optical communication. Industrial biotechnology is more difficult to identify through IPC classes
EN Furthermore, electronic and optic equipment, healthcare and life science, energy and environment, communication and computing, scientific tools and industrial manufacturing will be affected largely by this emerging technology (Miyazaki and Islam, 2007.

Its strength is based on the national Communications Research Centre (CRC), two other NRC institutes and a number of universities.
These sectors, for example the information and communication technology sector, are generally characterised by increased technological sophistication

The importance of Photonics can be seen from the multitude of application sectors where it is seen increasingly to be driving innovation (see Table 6-1). These sectors include information processing, communication, imaging, lighting, displays, manufacturing, life sciences and health care,
Information and Communication: Optical networks have opened the way to almost unlimited digital communication, building the very foundations of our Information Society.
The major highways of communication and information flow are based on optical technology. Photonics enables the processing, the storage, the transport and the visualisation of the huge masses of data.

3. Definition of traditional communication tools: the tools include the use of a logo which builds and reinforces the regional identity and puts innovation at its core;
newsletters and leaflets to complete the information with traditional communication tools; specific publications on certain aspects of the RIS (key analyses, peer review reports, etc.;
The content of the communication should include strategic lines and priorities but also communication and demonstration on flagship projects;
4. Definition of active communication tools: active tools mainly include pro-active activities such as targeted visits to stakeholders or concerted workshops and seminars.
'Provide a signal to underline the fact that the strategy is going to be implemented concretely rather than remaining a concept, contributing to the communication of the RIS3 as a whole;
