High-technology industry
High-technology industry involves a highly-skilled workforce and its products require a high proportion of research and development.
High-technology industry is relatively footloose since access to raw materials is not very important. The ‘raw materials’ that are required are usually lightweight electronic components.

Where does high-tech industry locate?
The largest concentration of high-tech industries is found in Silicon Valley.
Silicon Valley is the nickname for the high-tech heartland of the United States. It is located between San Francisco and San Jose, California.

High-technology industry
Bangalore has been called the Silicon Valley of India. Over 160,000 people are currently employed in the technology sector and this number is expected to exceed 200,000 in 2005, which will rival Silicon Valley.
Electronics City in Bangalore is India’s first science park. It is home to about 100 companies including Siemens, Hewlett Packard and Motorola. Infoys was the first Indian firm to float on the US Stock Exchange.

Examination question
High-technology industry
High technology industry involves a highly-skilled workforce and its products require a high proportion of research and development.
The largest concentration of high-tech industries can be found in Silicon Valley, USA. In the UK, the M4 corridor is an attractive location for high-tech industry.
Bangalore is the centre of high-tech industry in India.
High technology industry is relatively footloose.
Factors behind location include: a highly-skilled workforce, proximity to research centres and attractive environments.
A science park is a planned industrial complex which contains quaternary companies such as Cambridge Science Park.
The growth of the high-tech industry can bring advantages and disadvantages.
High-tech sectors
The sector approach classifies industries according their technology intensity, product approach according to finished products.
Aerospace
Artificial Intelligence
Biotechnology
Software
Electrical Engineering
Photonics
Nanotechnology
Nuclear Physics
Robotics
Telecommunications
High-tech industries
Further analysis from OECD has indicated that using research intensity as an industry classification indicator is also possible. The OECD does not only take the manufacturing but also the usage rate of technology into account.
