Artificial Intelligence (AI): This sector involves the development and application of AI technologies, including machine learning, neural networks, and data analytics, to solve complex problems, automate tasks, and create intelligent systems.

Quantum Technologies : Quantum technology applies the principles of quantum mechanics (Quantum Science) — primarily quantum entanglement, superposition, or tunneling — to build new technologies whose performance depends on one or multiple quantum principles. The three main verticals include:
• Quantum computation (hardware), algorithms, and software
• Quantum communication, networks, and cryptography
• Quantum metrology, sensing, imaging, and materials.

Information and Communication Technologies (ICT): This sector covers technologies primarily used for processing, storing, and transmitting information digitally. It includes telecommunications, software and hardware development, cybersecurity, and the Internet of things (IoT).
