14 So many S&T Parks and Innovation Clusters Type Science Park Science Town Technology Park Techno-park Techno-valley??? valley Technopolis Innopolis Innovation Cluster What is the difference? - Focus (science, technology, innovation) - Size of Area - History 14

15 From Science Park to Innovation Cluster Generation 1st Characteristics Science Park: Science and Technology-Push 2nd Technology Park: Market-Pull 3rd 4th Innovation Cluster: Interaction between S&T and Market Business Resort: Future Generation Innovation Cluster Virtual network + Quality of Life?

16 Def. of Innovation Cluster An innovation cluster is a networked group of innovation actors and location(s), where the actors are creating economic and technological values by interacting, competing and collaborating with other actors in innovation processes, which functions as the source of innovative activities for the region/nation, and has global competitiveness (Yim, 2008; Yim, 2002). 16

17 S type curve of Innovation Cluster Life Cycle Max. of total system Market, Acceptance, Size of System (Yim, 2008) Begin Grow Expand New Start, Maintain, Decrease Time 17

18 Evolutionary Process Initial Conditions Location, Technology, People, Culture, Venture Capital and Consulting Firm, Other Infrastructure Down-stream Evolution (Yim, 2000) From Production to Research Up-stream Evolution (Yim, 2000) From Research to Production 18

19 Two development Patterns of Innovation Cluster Upstream Development Pattern Downstream Development Pattern Primary Value Functions R&D (S&T Knowledge Creation) Production (S&T Knowledge Transfer) Marketing (Creation of Value) Secondary Value Functions Human Resource, Venture Capital, Information Supply, Consulting Service 19

20 Key Success Factors of Successful Clusters Policy & Management Location R&D Base Culture Capital Large market? Human Resource Incubator 20

21 Success Rate of Innovation Cluster? - Many government s both local and national are trying to make successful innovation clusters (STPs). - How many of them are successful? - Can they produce the expected results? - What are the reasons for this phenomena? 21

22 Innovation Cluster Policy in Korea

23 Direction of innovation cluster policy in Korea Existing ones - S&T Parks - Technoparks - Industrial Complex Change them from simple agglomerated complex into networked Innovation Cluster New ones - National S&T Complex - Regional Gov t initiated Technology Complex Plan and put the cluster concept from the plan Innovation Cluster 23

24 Innovation cluster and concerned ministries (As of year 2017) President Presidential Committee on Regional Development Ministries (Central Gov t.) Ministry of Science and ICT Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy Ministry of SMEs and Startups Ministry of Health and Welfare - Innopolis - Industrial complexe - Technoparks - Center for Creative Economy and Innovation - Osong Bio-technopolis Regional Gov t - Digital Media City (Seoul) - Gwanggyo Technovalley, - Pangyo Technovalley (Gyeonggi Province) 24

25 Overview of Innovation cluster policies (As of year 2017) Paradigm Authority Innovation Cluster Aim of Policy Agency Ministry of Science and ICT Belief on the Effects of Innovation coming from organic clustering of Actors in the cluster Ministry of Science and ICT Daedeok Innopolis Industrial Complex To make R&D based innovation cluster Daedeok Innopolis Management Office To make manufacturing oriented industrial innovation complex KICOX (Korea Industrial Complex Corp.) (or same region, or complex) Ministry of SMEs and Startups Technopark, Center for Creative Economy and Innovation To support technological innovation at the region Foundation Ministry for Health, Welfare and Family Affairs Osong Bio-technopolis To create bio innovation cluster MM and Development Task Force office Regional Gov t. Digital Media City, Gwanggyo Technovalley, Pangyo Technovalley To create regional innovation cluster Agencies of Regional Governments Policy direction Changing the simply agglomerate R&D actors to networked actors Creating miniclusters with industry, academia, and research centers Supporting technology transfer, incubation and providing equipments Creating new innovation clusters for specific purposes Creating new innovation clusters for specific purposes 25

37 Conclusion and Discussion

38 Why many innovation cluster fail? - Gov t initiated clusters do not have exact success factors as can be found in naturally created ones - Fail to understand the characteristics of innovation cluster (Long time project, big budget requirement and so on) - Neglecting the S/W side of innovation cluster, mainly the management and governance system - Mismatch between the management capability, authority, and resources 38

39 Software side policy needs to be incorporated - S/W policy is equally important - Governance and management are important but neglected - There is a difference between western culture and east-asian culture. (Horizontal vs. Vertical socio-political system) - How to incorporate S/W perspectives in the master plan? - How to secure constant support to make sustainable innovation cluster? 39

43 Evolutionary Process of Univ-Ind-RI relationship Evolutionary Stage 1 st Stage (Planning cluster) 2 nd Stage (Activity cluster) 3 rd Stage (Integrated cluster) Contents Participation in the planning process of in novation activities Some activities among innovation processe s are happening like joint R&D Compete and collaborate in almost all the i nnovation process so that industry, universit y and research institutes are very closely con nected and prosper as the member of whole IUR cluster 43
