5 Strategies to be Used in Fostering Strategic Industries:
In the Case of Daejeon Metropolitan City
5.1 Information and Communication Industry
5.1.1 Analysis of Current Status
Information and communication industries have locational advantages because
there is plenty of research manpower in Daejeon City and research centers are
concentrated at Daedeok Research Town. Since there are many research centers in
the Daedeok Area, it is relatively easy to build linkage among research centers and
research institutes. It is also easy to build IT accumulation base to develop tech-
nologies
for
mobile
communication,
telematics,
and
services
in
information
technology for the sake of IT technology fusion.
This industry has competitive power in the aspect of next generation mobile
communication. Base that would lead next generation mobile communication
market over the world is already prepared because commercialization of CDMA
has already been realized in Daedeok Research Zone. More than 200 patents are
acquired annually in this area due to the national investment in 4G technology
through the ETRI. There are seven display related research centers including
Display New Technology Research Center, Research Center for Semiconductor
Processing Technology in the Daedeok Research Zone.
In spite of these advantages, a few disadvantages have also turned up in this
area. Lack of expertise in the field of core information and communication tech-
nology, and nonexistence of a large manufacturing unit related to mobile com-
munication or display manufacturing are disadvantages in this region.
5.1.2 Strategies of Fostering Industries
Three strategies such as construction of exclusive venture town for IT industry,
service center for high frequency industry and Cinema Town are recommended to
foster information and communication industry.
Construction of exclusive venture town for IT industry
Major functions conducted in this venture town would be labs for common use,
providing diverse information service, and supporting export and global affairs.
Venture town could be built in the Daedeok Techno valley with the 21,487 m
2
of
site and total construction area of 26,446 m
2
. Budget for the construction could be
$15 million and $12 million could be allocated to the central government and
$3 million to Daejeon Metropolitan City.
