leader


Explanation:
Je garderais le terme "leader" dans ce cas. Les leaders de l'industrie qui sont (se trouvant)a la pointe de la technologie de la communication. En general, le Francais prefere untiliser un terme francophone, "leader" est une des exceptions. Si tu dois untiliser un terme francophone, "Chefs" est preferable a "Capitaine".

les leaders de l'industrie qui sont à.....


Explanation:
'fine pointe' and 'pointe' are usually the equivalents of **cutting edge** and are also used in the context of *technology-related materials*.

In the sentence, the emphasis is being put on the *leading edge*/the fact that the leaders are well in advance, they are the precursors/trailblazers/models/dominant figures in that particular field. You may then use the following translations:

>> Les leaders de l'industrie qui sont à l'avant-garde de la technologie de communication.
OR
>> Les leaders de l'industrie qui s'imposent en maîtres / qui dominent la technologie de la communication.
