The Government also recognises that communications infrastructure is a key enabler for a competitive economy.
the Government has commissioned Infrastructure Australia to audit critical water, energy, communication and transport infrastructure in northern Australia and separately across the nation.
For the first time, Australia will have integrated an plan of infrastructure needs across transport, water, communications and energy. This will enable better investment planning

In the region of Malopolska, the emergence of fast-growing companies and clusters in industries like information and communication technologies, telecommunications and pharmaceuticals has been supported by the changes of the profiles of regional universities.
It can help to stimulate communication among key players and permits a quick first assessment of their status and potential that is needed to prepare a SWOT analysis as described in the European commission's RIS3 GUIDE.
The development of the information and technology communications (ICTS) has facilitated strongly the connectivity and communication within regions (and inter-regions.
information channels of communication, staff exchanges and interagency joint programming (OECD, 2012f). ) Some of these new challenges can be grouped as follows:

and can result in more effective communication and uptake of the outcomes of R&d. This contributes directly to innovation driven productivity growth in Australian agriculture.
Communication and feedback is facilitated via state conferences, newsletters and surveys. The GRDC has established dedicated regional forums to elicit stakeholder input.
Knowledge flows between researchers inside and outside the cluster ensure that research is kept at the forefront of technology innovation with competitive firms in LED and optical communication placed within the global supply chain.
The local policymakers also set priorities for the governance system to support photonics, specifically optical communications and LED technology.
These were embodied in the Korea Photonics Technology Institute that provided a test system of photonics communication and leadership in optical communication and materials.
In the second phase, a full-fledged service system was designed to promote the two priority areas of optical communication and LED.
