Abstract

This paper examined opportunities and limitations of building an innovation cluster based on large scale research facilities (LSRF). For this purpose, success factors of innovation clusters were drawn from the literature, and categorized into knowledge & technology, transaction cost & agglomeration economies, hardware & software infrastructure, and government policy & strategy. Utilizing the categorization as an analytic framework, case studies of CERN and SPring-8 were performed. The results showed that there were various innovation processes for both cases, creating opportunities for developing innovation clusters in terms of knowledge and technology. On the other hand, in the case of SPring-8, there were disadvantages in the transaction cost and agglomeration economies, being located in a remote area due to the nature of the facility. Software & hardware infrastructure of SPring-8 limited its potential for innovation clusters. Regarding government policy and strategy, CERN, as a multinational institution, did not consider an innovation cluster in a specific region despite some advantages. An innovation cluster around SPring-8 was promoted by government policy despite some disadvantages. In other words, the advantages and disadvantages were enhanced or complemented by software & hardware infrastructure and government policy & strategy. Based on the results, this paper provides the implications for the Korean International Science-Business Belt.

본 연구는 거대연구장비(LSRF) 기반 혁신클러스터 조성의 가능성과 한계점을 확인하고, 국제과학비즈니스벨트에 대한 시사점을 제공하고자 하였다. 우선 기존 문헌을 분석하여 혁신클러스터의 성공요인을 도출하였으며, 이들을 지식 및 기술, 거래비용 및 집적경제 등의 주요소, 소프트웨어 하드웨어적 인프라와 정부정책 및 전략 등 보조요소로 구분하였다. 그리고 이를 분석의 틀로 활용하여 CERN과 SPring-8등의 LSRF에 대한 사례연구를 수행하였다. 연구결과, 우선 지식 및 기술 측면에서 CERN과 SPring-8 공히 다양한 혁신 과정이 존재하여 혁신클러스터화에 유리한 점이 존재하였다. 지식과 기술이 LSRF를 활용한 연구로부터는 물론, 해당 설비의 건설, 운영, 관리 과정에서도 개발되고 파급되었다. 그러나 SPring-8의 경우 장비의 특성으로 인해, 거래비용 및 집적경제 측면에서 기업들에게 불리한 곳에 위치하는 문제점이 있었다. 또한 SPring-8은 경우 소프트웨어 하드웨어적 인프라의 미흡으로 인한 한계도 존재하였다. 정부 정책 및 전략과 관련하여, CERN은 다국적 기관이라는 특성상 정책적으로 특정지역의 클러스터화를 추진하지 않았으며, SPring-8은 다른 요소의 불리함에도 불구하고 정부의 지원에 따라 어느 정도나마 클러스터 구축이 촉진될 수 있었다. 종합하면, LSRF는 기술 및 지식 차원에서 다양한 기회 제공이 가능하였으나, 장비의 특성상 거래비용 및 집적경제 측면의 불리함이 존재하였다. 소프트웨어 하드웨어적 인프라와 정부 정책 및 전략은 주요인의 장점과 단점을 보완하는 요소로 작용하였다. 이러한 결과를 반영하여 본 연구는 과학벨트를 위한 시사점으로 전주기 관점에서의 참여자 그룹 발굴, 산업 인프라 및 정주환경 관점에서의 인센티브, 인근지역의 산업적 특징을 고려한 입주유치 전략 마련, 지식 인센티브 강화 전략 등을 제시한다.
