innovators eventually founder incubate was no exception. the world is full of rusting old industrial space by the wayside and the constant shifts of the global economy the challenge on everyone's minds is to rethink and rebuild these spaces to compete in the high tech twenty first century. these challenges were particularly acute endured more a city of the once mighty male logical complex and europe's largest economy these pictures are from the final days of phoenix west a massive plant operator. along with other heavy industry installations. working class long before the mill was shuttered for good in one thousand nine hundred eight the economic. crisis. they had to take
1:40 pm
a decision to do for the future. there was a decision you can see here so. by the way as. impressive new facility. passed the doors opened in april two thousand and five. for micro. clean room infrastructure companies trying to take technology ideas. from the city state and european union now hosting around twenty companies with over one hundred employees including many.
1:41 pm
technology. obviously. this is. the perfect infrastructure in order to do the technology. come from basically. you know to get this infrastructure in a. team. to make a predictable conversion you have a timeframe of two the few years in order to convert technology to products and prepare the company in order to approach global markets that's exactly the kind of preparation. and his classmates turned business partners adopt a gun we're looking for when they came to dortmund and to help them take top quality off the electronic technology to the market. up the gun originally was
1:42 pm
founded by. two my friends and classmates from university and myself and. myers who joined us and he helped to move here to do. this. the company made a creation was here and through this time to develop the main principles and basically team. loop created that elegant today we have between ten companies on the level of performance so what exactly was it that opera gun needed to get their business off the ground insured equipment light emitting diodes don't grow on trees they grow in every taxi or reactors are able to rent top quality equipment at affordable rates and the m.s.t. factory in the after gun team could set about generating the top quality samples that made them an attractive investment to set up a full scale production here's how it's done production starts with a thin model crystal lean sapphire wafer in a process known as. placed inside
1:43 pm
a special chamber the wafer is bombarded with various gases to form a multi-layered structure under specific pressure and temperature conditions the gases cause chemical reactions leaving layers of gallium nitride indium nitride and aluminum nitride on the way for surface each wafer will produce up to thousands of l.e.d.s. so a laser edging process cards out the individual chips contacts are then affixed to each one of the tiny l.e.d. chips are now ready to be placed in. casement connected with the context and covered with the foster layer to blue to white light negative than positive charge currents meet in the active layer of the diode releasing photons in the form of visible light. technology. recovering the innovation technologies. and we've talked to
1:44 pm
several groups several financial groups and. they. bought it. and. at least. we found a way that we can grow material least disliked defects to even. mean that we can build chips with a more cost efficient technology delivering the same level of performance we are in a transition phase for all. who have. calibrating their production lines in st petersburg to perfectly recreate the recipe day nailed down and it's a tedious process even on the prototype scale and now the expectations are. comes out of these machines is going not to showcase for potential investors but to meet

the lighting needs of clients. to plan what advantages. for an equivalent amount of light up to go on projects it's. nearly ten fold and fifty times meanwhile they will cut in half the energy usage of most and usefully ten times less electricity than old school bulbs mercury pollution is a potentially serious problem with energy saving c.f.l. . avoid that toxic threat. completely. environmentally safe in russia from. people. in russia. so we see that in terms of the market size. it's bigger to. expect russian market to grow. and we see the
1:46 pm
growth of the market for. one hundred percent a year and. doesn't have to look. as the city of st petersburg is undergoing an l.e.d. overhaul. companies in charge of maintaining some one hundred eighty thousand lighting elements around the city that's a huge market for the new. currently power consumption total several megawatts. of the major production plant that will produce and hopefully lights to. initially we intend to use to eliminate the city's. construction plan and the pipeline with new streets to be designed and built in two thousand and twelve twenty thirteen. so after we've done the we'll extend the replacement program to residential districts and then move on to revamp the
1:47 pm
lighting for major transport in the city as well as the embankments and. beyond their hometown object on his branching out to the far away russian republic of straddling the arctic circle in icy northern siberia energy efficiency is more than a slogan there since producing electricity in much of the region is expensive and heavily subsidized they also need new technology built to withstand their long brutal winter. what if you. work in temperature conditions like we have a lot of parts of russia. cold country.
1:48 pm
this is a prototype here what's different about it i can't tell with the naked eye but tell me a little bit about the technology i would say that right now you can buy my. degree . quite. definitely a big part of the heavily competitive game since other companies. already been on the market for years to show the ability to meet customer specific demand. standards and it's. ever lower costs. for.
1:49 pm
the. kind of mass consumer base. even if you think. you might. driving down the cost of chip production somebody needs to tackle the issue of design. creative minds that studios are already on the case. is constantly coming up with new ways to merge. with the fashion. behind the futuristic prototype. screw in a. while. was the main challenge that you guys had to overcome in making these plans obviously did acknowledge is quite advanced but they still go to some
1:50 pm
issues to solve the biggest one ease the problem of couldn't own because they produce a lot of heat so we have to design the very good. radiant. is that what this thing is right here yeah it's like. the theme we just came out for the market maybe three years ago and it's just a standard solution but we like to change it and make it more effective and we got inspired by nature because if you look at some of the it stuff like mushrooms for example that apes they're just like because of the way of an up and go and we created the same the same similar stuff here and help to extend the capacity and space around and. to make the cooling process more effective from a purely design perspective from an artistic perspective do you like working with bulbs that need a radiator this clunky like when i look at this i see mostly radiator very little
1:51 pm
ball and you don't get light maybe as much coming down this direction are you looking at ways to completely redo l.e.d. lighting so that you don't have to have such a bulky radiator industry itself is very rapidly changing day by day i think maybe even up to one year we'll have another design beefed up so there's a different look so what then is the future of this kind of designing to look like you mentioned deed silva gets in small and small and for example they can get closer which is called slight engine and physically it's a very very tiny and sleek and thin element and they implemented that but not you know the common you could trade any shape whatever you want really looking forward to some of the designs may seem a bit frivolous it first glimpse but we're talking about a far more flexible lighting future where we can. to traditional shapes in the name of variety. to just about anything and replace old school single function buttons
1:52 pm
with tiny. multiplying devices possibilities. and the. russian billionaire this month is literally hoping to reinvent the wheel. sometime in two thousand and twelve. with all the latest gadgets for the erving to . group both in the new car company so it's no wonder he understood the advantages of that product from st peter's little which is when you first of all. and secondly no less important. to simplify the. features. you move the zero has company here as the world's leading luxury sports car makers head
1:53 pm
seen the light about to leave the lamps in recent years as well as the bang for the buck you can expect to encounter more l.e.d.s. on the road. as you can see. finding applications everywhere these days even living room but it's just the tip of the iceberg. there are more innovations on the way from the same team of st petersburg scientists. from. offices of the russian company. classmates and. industry. even deeper into their scientific work on semiconductor physics. international team to become one of the world's leaders in laser technology. to complete production cycle beginning here with molecular. and. finishing with a range of packaged products. laser chips and fiber laser modules for use.
1:54 pm
in communications technology. research is from the physical technical university where we worked in the laboratory of the. private company here in germany we managed to secure significant funds from investors and. company other implications produces millions of chips for the medical. research to create a unique chip to be used in the industry of optical computer interconnections. different place. the. project. with a proposal to set up production facilities. chips using. something unique. to take.
1:55 pm
his company's among the global elite quantum dots or confine semiconductor crystals electronic. discovered in the one nine hundred eighty s. physicists. are great advantages in laser applications. for more amplitude and. relative noise. benefits. on the basis of company's latest invention. through it. one hundred gigabits. you see everywhere today
1:56 pm
just a few. several dozen times. many hundred times. think of the. data coming out of your computer. today the options are basically either building a new road. or waiting in traffic with the data. says adding lanes to the same highway sending information on the same fiber using several different. wavelengths and each plane is flying it. and you see what kind of breakthrough we're talking about. redefining the computer. one hundred. the world.
1:57 pm
in two thousand and six. that's a huge number so expect. future. production . conditions for russian optoelectronics technologies to develop. in. two competitive firms with cutting edge projects on the market and possibly more on the way they build successful innovative business abroad and bring them home. over the world from the famous silicon valley to taiwan in southeast asia. in russia. right now that's part of the skolkovo project
1:58 pm
an international city of science and technology over the next decade in all directions from this spot just outside of moscow so the next time technology brings you a high tech success story it might just be born and raised right here in enjoy the ride. that. is going to cover these. two groups. to give them kind of conditions like. what we discussed with you when we were there and. in order to develop. a prototype. and this has to be done in russia immediately otherwise we would never you know breach between. would be because between. there is a huge gap and there is a prototype development and i myself am
