Advanced manufacturing technology encompass the use of innovative technology to improve products or processes that drive innovation.For the former, such process technology typically relates to production apparatus, equipment and procedures for the manufacture of specific materials and components.

Advanced Materials mean materials with engineered properties created through the development of specialised processing and synthesis technology, including ceramics, high value-added metals, electronic materials, composites, polymers, and biomaterials.

Talking about artificial intelligence (AI) is as simple as talking about intelligent machines. That is, machines that are programmed to carry out certain tasks automatically without the need for human beings to supervise their work.

Virtual reality (VR) is an environment of simulated life-like objects and scenes. This environment is contemplated by the user through a device known as virtual reality glasses or helmet. 

The term "big data" refers to data that are so large, fast, or complex that it is difficult or impossible to process using traditional methods. The act of accessing and storing vast amounts of information for analytics has been around for a long time.

Basically, blockchain is a set of technologies that allow keeping a secure, decentralised, synchronised and distributed record of digital operations, without the need for third-party intermediation.

In a simple way, cloud computing is a technology that allows remote access to software, file storage and data processing through the Internet, thus being an alternative to running on a personal computer or local server.

Connectivity is the quality, state, or capability of being connective or connected a surface has. Especially, it is the ability to connect to or communicate with another computer or computer system.

Industrial biotechnology can be simply defined as the exploitation of enzymes, microorganisms, and plants to produce energy, industrial chemicals and consumer goods. The objective is to develop biotechnology approaches that will yield 'green' industrial processes that are cost effective and sustainable.

The Internet of Things (IoT) describes the network of physical objects -“things”- that are embedded with sensors, software, and other technologies for the purpose of connecting and exchanging data with other devices and systems over the internet.

The applications of Micro/Nanotechnology in electronics include the development of electronic components that drastically increase the speed of processing in computers, the creation of semiconductors, quantum nanowires, circuits based on Graphene or Carbon Nanotubes.

Mobility is the set of movements, both of people and goods, that occur in a city with the aim of traveling the distance that separates one place from another. Urban mobility that uses a means of transport is usually classified in public and private transport.

Nanotechnology is helping to considerably improve, even revolutionise, many technology and industry sectors: information technology, homeland security, medicine, transportation, energy, food safety, and environmental science, among many others.

Photonics is the science of photon generation, control, and detection, particularly in the visible and near-infrared spectrum, but also extending to other portions of the spectrum including the ultraviolet (wavelengths 0.2 - 0. 35 µm), long wave infrared (8 - 12 µm) and infrared.

Robotic Process Automation (RPA) is an easy-to-use software technology for anyone who wants to automate digital tasks. With RPA, software users can create software robots or “bots” that can learn, imitate, and then execute rules-based business processes.

It is the area related to information technology and telematics that focuses on the protection of the computing infrastructure and everything related to it, and especially the information contained in a computer or circulating through computer networks.
