  10. Current R&D in Korea A. Korean National Innovation System (KNIS) • Innovation Actors & Network  Korean Government  Government Research Institutes (GRIs) KIST,ETRI, KITECH and Others (26 institutes)  Universities : SNU, KAIST, POSTECH …  Private Sectors : Large Corporations & SMEs • Linkers among Innovation Actors  TIC (Technology Innovation Center)  RIC (Regional Innovation Center)  Technology Parks  Many Ind. – Univ. – GRIs Clusters 9

  11. Current R&D in Korea B. KNIS - Input • R&D Expenditure and Number of Researchers per Year 10

  12. Current R&D in Korea C. KNIS - Output • S&T Competitiveness, Patent, & SCI Papers 1) IMD (International Institute for Management Development) 2) WIPO (World Intellectual Property Organization) 3) PCT (Patent Cooperation Treaty) 11

  13. Current R&D in Korea D. Roles of the Innovation Actors • Government  Development of Science & Technology Infrastructure  Established Korea Institute of Science & Technology in 1966 Established several GRIs as spin-offs from KIST in ’70s Established Korea Advanced Institute of Science & Technology (KAIST) in 1975  Direct R&D Support to Universities and GRIs  Preferential finance and tax concessions for Industry R&D • University  The rapid expansion of S&T human resource education  More teaching-oriented than research-oriented  Recent emphasis on more basic & applied research 12

  14. Current R&D in Korea E. Past Role of the Korean Innovation Actors • GRIs Important role in industrial R&D in ’60s and ’70s Helped firms to acquire foreign technology Informally diffused technology thru reverse-engineering Supplied experienced researchers for Industry  Joint research & development with large firms  Backbone of national R&D since 1982 • Private Sectors Large firms established corporate R&D centers in the ‘80s Samsung, LG, Hyundai and SK group, etc.  SMEs started R&D activities rather recently 13
