and where the R&D functions of INNOPOLIS Gwangju, INNOPOLIS Daegu, and INNOPOLIS Busan will further
developed to their full potential through mutual cooperation with the science belt. INNOPOLIS will pioneer
a new innovation model where R&D and business are joined through a strong inter-linkage framework
within the innovation cluster.

Science and Technology Park (STP) is the source of competitiveness, talent and entrepreneurial spirit and serves as the core
infrastructure that supports the growth in the global knowledge-based economy today. As Koreas most represented STP,
INNOPOLIS Daedeok has served as a central pillar of economic growth in Korea for over forty years by developing amazing
advanced new technologies, including the mobile technology standard CDMA and the WIG Craft, also known as the flying
boat. Recently, developing countries have paid an attention to STP as a means of economic development. Many countries have
also asked INNOPOLIS Foundation to share its know-how in STP. Through the Korea STP Program we would like to share our
knowledge with the developing countries from around the world.
