The Electronics Unit recently launched the Electronics Innovation and Growth Team (EIGT) report "ELECTRONICS 2015 - Making A Visible Difference" (URN 04/1812). A sector competitive analysis report "Competitiveness in the UK Electronics Sector" (URN 05/607), commissioned to underpin the work of the EIGT is also available from BERR Publications.
In addition to the EIGT report, we have also produced a number of publications, including showcase guides for some of our sectors. The following publications are currently available:
Ovum has carried out a study commissioned by BERR of how companies currently source service provision from overseas, how they see this developing and what the impact might be on their employment levels, skills and competitiveness. The report also highlights what businesses perceive as the challenges and adjustments for the sector and the UK economy. The work is based on company interviews and market analysis. It does not represent Government policy.
Photonics is concerned with the transmission and manipulation of information and energy in the form of light (photons) rather than electricity. The application of photonic technologies can enhance the performance of a wide range of products across industries as diverse as transport, security communications, healthcare and energy. The market for systems dependent on photonics is already over £150 billion. This report produced in collaboration with industry and academia examines the UK photonics industry sector; identifies opportunities and challenges for UK over the next 5 to 10 years; and subsequently develops an action plan for Government and industry to exploit the sector.
