5 The Future of Chungnam Techno Park
CTP is in the middle of its second period of the roadmap. CTP has changed the
business environment of the region with its comprehensive business support
programs emphasizing the global standards of technology development and
commercialization, and global marketing competitiveness for regional enterprises.
CTP keeps the path of success as an innovative companion of all enterprises in the
region. However, CTP needs one more step forward to make CTP's ultimate goal
to make Chungnam as the world class high-tech cluster in a sustainable innovation
system (Chungnam Techno Park
2009b
) (Fig.

).
From 1999 to 2007 CTP created innovation infrastructure as the first period of
the roadmap. The major issue in the first period was developing Cheonan Valley.
The headquarters of CTP was located in Cheonan Valley. Now CTP is in the
second period. The major issue in this second period is to develop three more local
valleys. Here, the valley means the land space for technology park business. Thus,
CTP creates three more technology park business space. CTP already created Asan
Valley. Yesan Valley has completed in
2010
, and Dangjin Valley is under
research. Cheonan Valley, which was completed in the first period, will be
expanded as a technology city (technopolis).
The third period of the roadmap concentrates on the sustainable innovation
system. Cheonan Valley will be developed as a world class cluster. Three local
valleys will become technopolis and national level clusters. By doing so,
Chungnam province will be developed as a technology cluster by the end of
2010
.
CTP's endeavor will assure the sustainable development of the Chungnam and,
thus, the quality of life for the people of Chungnam.
In the third period, CTP will expand its global network through collaboration
programs with foreign science and technology parks. CTP plans to create several
satellite incubators abroad. The first one is in Thailand Science Park, Bangkok,
Thailand.
