Key Digital Technologies

Which technologies are behind the products and services we use every day? Discover in this video the three key technologies enabling the digital revolution:
• Microelectronics: the technology behind the integrated circuits in all digital applications such as sensors, smartphones or GPS radars
• Photonics: the technology of light behind cameras, lasers, optical fibre, LED lighting and optical sensors
• Software: the programmes that run all our apps, phones, factories, energy networks or transport control.
Europe’s competitiveness in the digital era depends on our ability to master these key digital technologies. That’s why the EU is heavily investing in them.
