South Korean Science and Technology development Policy

At First, the science and technology nation strategic concept deeply rooted
South Korea back in the 1960s put forward the slogan
of revitalizing science and technology, through decad es of practice, "technology nation" concept of infiltrat ion into the community.

Secondly, the Science and Technology Polic y continuous, never be a big swing
From 1961 to 2003, the Korean government has gone through the 14th. However, no matter which era of science and technology policy, and its core is to enhance the strength of the Korean economy

, improve Korea's global competitiveness.

Third, constantly adjust technology policies

1960s to the 1970s mainly to the introduction of absorption; 1980s of technological innovation and enhance the

economic competitiveness;
1990s of independent innovation-based. In the 21st century, the government science and

technology system transformed into private sector-led

science and technology system
