3.4 Development of Strategic Industries
The seventh function of CTP is to promote the regional strategic industries of
Chungnam Province. The provincial government of Chungnam selected four
strategic industries. They are electronic-display industry, automobile industry,
multimedia and contents industry, and agricultural bio industry. As a think tanker
of Chungnam, the Policy Planning Agency of CTP plays an important role in
conducting researches on how to develop the regional industries. The Policy
Planning Agency designs the roadmaps for four strategic industries as well as for
municipal level traditional industries.
CTP operates Display Industry Center, Automobile Industry Center, Multi-
media Industry Center, and Agricultural Bio Industry Center. Each center is
equipped with state-of-art facilities and professional staffs. They provide high
quality of R & D and technical services. Each center also nurtures start-up com-
panies in its incubator as well. Each center plays an important role in networking
its own specific industry as a hub. Thus, each center has a pool of university
professors, researchers, entrepreneurs, and business service experts. The pool
ranges between 100 and 300 people based on the industrial field.
The Multimedia Industry Center, for example, leads Korea's visual media
industry through state-of-art facilities, technical consulting programs, start-up
incubation spaces, and enterprise training programs. In 2010, the Multimedia
Industry Center created 50 start-up companies in the visual media field, supporting
the main and/or post-production works for more than 30 movies, TV dramas, and
virtual games. Recently, the center supports the 2D to 3D converting business. One
of the resident enterprises in the center began to convert Hollywood movies from
2D to 3D. The center provides the enterprise with a space for 400 people, world
class equipment and facilities, and 3D converting education programs. For this
