hold high growth potential, huge spread effect or a high degree of industrial
concentration, we may say that it has good conditions to foster strategic industries.
Fostering strategic industries is a more difficult job than selecting an appro-
priate strategic industry from various industries in a region. Two conditions are
suggested as important factors when fostering strategic industries in this research.
The first condition is the presence of high quality R&D manpower and a well
organized urban community. There is Daedeok Research Zone in Daejeon
Metropolitan City, where 17 higher education industries for R&D manpower and
technology development including KAIST, ICU, and CNU exist. Since Daejeon
Metropolitan City was selected as a best place to live in by the Gallop Survey
Group several times for the last 15 years, the first condition is satisfied.
The second condition is restructuring a regional economy from mass production
systems to a high-tech oriented 'just in time' structure. The ''5 Year Regional
Innovation Plan'' was prepared by Daejeon Metropolitan City last year. The major
part of the plan is composed of selection of industries for the next generation and
strategies of fostering selected industries. Therefore, we expect the second con-
dition would also be satisfied.
