  15. 3. Regional and national policies 13 3.2 Priority setting

  16. 3. Regional and national policies 14 3.2 Priority setting

  17. 3. Regional and national policies 15 3.3 Key policy instruments and investment

  18. 3. Regional and national policies 16 3.4 Coordination activities • Coordination mechanism • - public institutes specialized in specific functions with their technological and human capacities • - promotion of local photonics industry and extensive attraction of large companies and technology SMEs • - thematic networks organized by local promotion agencies • Issues for further cluster development • - Regional: fine-tuning of governing mechanism of local and economic region for intensifying current networks • - National: support for nation-wide expansion of new photonics product development • - International: strategic FDI inducement, expansion of various research and marketing collaboration

  21. 4. Future development 19 4.1 Ambition, strategic plans and catalysts • Photonics 2020: New Vision for Photonics Industrial Development (2010) • Vision: to leapfrog to global top 3 from top 5 (current) and become a photonics global hub • Three developmental goals • - photonics R&D cluster development through innovation and research capacity building • - industrial capacity building by attract large companies, boosting SME technology companies, and FDI inducement with high caliber development • - backward and forward industrial linkages and cooperation system by creation of joint demand among linked industries, localization of core parts and materials, international R&D cooperation and marketing • Four strategies • - securing original technology development capacity by promoting next generation photonics technology development and enhancing global standard leadership with accreditation and testing infrastructure • - identifying new growth engines by focusing on fusion photonics technology areas for which the local technological capacities to produce core optical parts can be leveraged • - attracting domestic and foreign large companies and nurturing local SMEs by intensifying business services • - capacity building and effective coordination of local photonics support agencies

  22. 4. Future development 20 4.2 Strategic intelligence tools • Locked in the previous policy decision making process, which is strong dependence on government programs such as R&D special zone program • Smart specialisation strategy concept as an appropriate tool for critical review and revision of current strategies with strong participation of local networks

  23. 4. Future development 21 4.3 Strategies fitness Growth capabilities of Gwangju photonics industry Note: ◕ > ◑ > ◔ > ◯

  24. 4. Future development 22 4.4 Opportunities for international eco-system development • The main competitive advantages in the cluster • - strong engineering capabilities which surpass the Chinese and are almost equal to western countries with price competitiveness • - GPT (general purpose technologies) for next generation photonics industry, which are partially available through GIST and other local universities • - diverse engineering extension networks such as product development, testing, and pilot production with local universities, research institutes, etc. • To diversify local photonics industry which is currently focused on LED and optical communication, it is required to extensively expand its national and global networks for securing knowledge and marketing.

  25. 4. Future development 23 4.5 Stakeholder and policy dialogue

  26. 4. Future development 24 4.6 Bottlenecks and threats • Weak capacities in the emerging areas of optical lens, sensors, lasers, etc which serve as a source of new fusion industries • Shrinkage of the domestic LED market at the moment, especially in LED TVs • Uncertain domestic and international procurement markets for green growth (reliability, price, etc) • Rapid catch-up of Chinese companies in the area of LED and optical communication parts and modules • Weak local linkages for next generation industry in the region and with global players
