• Synopsis

  • The term ‘critical’ was coined in the United States in 1920 when the dependence on foreign imports of certain products (materials) was so high that it was considered a
    weakness of the US Army. US Congress has called for stockpiling of 'critical materials' to prepare for military conflict. The U.S. Congress expanded this concept and judged that
    certain technologies were important not only to secure military power but also as a key source of economic growth, and officially used the term ‘critical technology’ through
    National Competitiveness Technology Transfer Act of 1989 (Public Law 101-189).
    
    The term ‘critical technology’, which had disappeared for a while due to the collapse of the former Soviet Union and the unrivaled technological innovation competitiveness of the
    United States, has reappeared as a national policy since the 2010s, following China’s rapid rise to the G2 and intensifying competition for technological hegemony with the United States.
    The European Union is putting forward ‘technology sovereignty’ as the justification for bringing Europe together from external threats and preventing Europe from becoming a
    battleground for US-China hegemony. Based on this, the European Union has designed and is implementing the so-called emerging technology (critical technology) referee strategy
    in the US-China hegemonic war. Korea also needs its own positioning strategy to survive the US-China war for technological hegemony.

At the plenary meeting of the National Science and Technology Advisory Council presided over by President Yoon Seok-yeol in Korea, the ‘National Critical Technology
Fostering Plan’ was announced for future growth and a leap forward as a technological powerhouse on October 28, 2022. As a follow-up measure, the Ministry of Science & ICT
held a ‘National Critical Technology Forum’ on December 12, 2022 together with the National Science and Technology Research Council and 17 Korean GRIs in the field of
science and technology to debate the roles of GRIs as main actors to secure national critical technology.

Through this special session of EKC 2023, we will try to cover the following issues: First, representative policies and critical technologies for Europe to strategically position in the
competition for technological hegemony between the US and China. Second, the current status of international cooperation for Korean GRIs in science and technology with Europe
and the current status of R&D related to national critical technologies. Third, the main characteristics of the innovation system in Europe. Fourth, the future direction for
vitalization of Korea-EU international cooperation in science and technology. In addition, it is intended to derive useful policy ideas through discussion.

• Synopsis

This special session aims to explore the possibilities of global growth support for emerging Biotech Startups in Korea, with a particular focus on the pivotal role played by the Korea Research Institute of Bioscience and Biotechnology (KRIBB) and its innovative open entrepreneurship program. Starting a bio business involves significant technological expertise and substantial initial costs, surpassing those required in many other industries. These costs include research equipment installation and preclinical/clinical expenses, and the path to tangible results often spans an average of 10 to 15 years. As a result, biotech startups are commonly referred to as 'high risk high return' ventures.

 

To overcome the challenges inherent in bio-entrepreneurship, the session will feature presentations on the bioventure startup ecosystem and growth support provided by KRIBB. Additionally, case studies presented by two speakers with experience in European bio-entrepreneurship will shed light on similar experiences and explore potential collaborative opportunities. The session aims to foster discussions on global growth support for emerging Korean Biotech Startups, emphasizing the importance of cooperation with innovative public institutions. Join us in this session to delve into the possibilities of collaborative efforts for the future success and global expansion of Korean bioventures.
