♤ To use the ICTE capabilities to enhance competitiveness and efficiency in manufacturing across the board and in key infrastructure sectors like power, transport and aviation.

♤ Leveraging the mushrooming demand for ICTE products and services to foster innovation, encourage R&D through academic institutions and industry.

♤ To reposition the mobile phone from a mere communication devise to an instrument of empowerment which combines communication with proof of identity, full secure financial and other transaction capability, multi-lingual services and the like.

♤ The Triad of policies has extensive programs for R&D, IPR creation and financing of innovative projects in Telecom, Information Technology and Electronics Manufacturing sectors.
