Abstract

This paper argues that regional innovation systems that are established around "strategically specific technology fields (SSTFs)" will constitute a competent national innovation system by formulating an efficient sectoral innovation system in an organic way. We identified SSTFs of Korean regions based on the harmony among industrial structure, S&T potential, and the will of the regional government. According to our analysis, advanced technology areas, especially biotechnology, information technology, and environmental technology are identified as important SSTFs of Korean regions. This indicates that Korean regions are aiming at developing future-oriented sectoral and national innovation systems
