5.3.2 Strategies of Fostering Industries
Three strategies such as supporting R&D, construction of adaptation center,
building Nano Fab-Center are recommended to foster high-tech parts and material
industries.
Supporting R&D for next generation battery and technology for new material
parts
Major functions of this strategy is operating technology development team and
selecting R&D projects and executing project evaluation. Budget for executing
this project could be $40 million.
Construction of Adaptation Center for Energy and New Materials
The Center will provide manufacturing space for firms that produce goods in the
fields of energy and new materials. The Center will encourage manufacturing
process with a step by step approach. Manufacturing process starts with labs and
construction of pilot plants followed by manufacturing factories that are built at
the end. Site of the Adaptation Center could be 6,611 m
2
with total construction
area of 3,305 m
2
. Budget for the construction could be $10 million.
Nano Total Fab-Center (under construction)
The Center will be used by industries, universities and research institutes com-
monly for R&D in nano technology. The Center will attract promising domestic
and foreign firms into Daedeok Research Town by the advertisement of facilities
and manpower of Nano Fab-Center located at Daedeok Research Zone. Budget for
the construction could be $ 30 million and duration of construction would be from
2002 to 2008.
5.4 Mechatronics Industry
5.4.1 Analysis of Current Status
There is abundant manpower for robot and mechatronics related research at
Daedeok Research Zone and it is easy to link research centers and labs in the
Valley. There are many private research institutes and service companies related to
mechatronics industry in Daedeok Research Zone. Since three military head-
quarters such as army, air force, and navy are located in Daejeon Metropolitan
City, active commercialization of military technologies related to robotics is
expected in the near future.
However, central government does not express strong intentions to foster
mechatronics industry, it will take time to foster this industry.
