<strong>applied to fields beyond high-energy physics</strong>. From materials science to computing, particle physics demands the ultimate in performance, making CERN an important <strong>testbed for industry</strong> – including large companies, SMEs or recent start-ups. CERN also <strong>engages with other stakeholders, such as policy makers</strong>, especially those acting in CERN’s <a href="/about/who-we-are/our-governance/member-states">Member States and Associate Member States</a>.</p> <h3>Impact across industries</h3> <p>The scientific advancements of CERN push the frontiers of technology, which has a positive impact on society globally. The transfer of CERN technologies and expertise to society is an integral part of these activities, providing novel solutions in many fields.</p> <p>The best-known CERN technology is the <a href="/science/computing/birth-web"><strong>World Wide Web</strong></a>, invented to allow an ever-increasing number of scientists to share information. For many of us today, life without the Web seems inconceivable. Equally revolutionary is the <a href="/science/computing/grid">Grid</a>, which harnesses the power of computers around the world. It has been developed at CERN to process the vast amounts of data collected by the <a href="/science/experiments">LHC experiments</a>.</p> <p>CERN’s basic tools – particle accelerators and detectors – also have applications in everyday life. Invented as tools for research, there are thousands of particle accelerators in operation in the world today, of which only a small percentage are used in basic research. The vast majority find applications ranging from medical diagnosis and therapy to computer chip manufacture.</p> <p>Without the know-how obtained in particle physics, progress in many fields would have been much slower. CERN, in partnership with industry, gives companies expertise that they can apply elsewhere, enabling CERN technology to reach society quickly for the benefit of everyone.</p> <div
