Abstract

As an innovation cluster has become an important policy tool for attaining regional and national competitiveness, many nations and regions are making great efforts to foster innovation clusters. In the case of Korea also, many innovation clusters have been established and some of them are recently receiving a lot of attention due to their performance. In fact, there have been lots of investment by the central and regional governments. However, there have been no in-depth analyses on Korean successful innovation clusters. This study investigates some of the success factors of a Korean representative innovation cluster, Pangyo Techo Valley. We find out that the Pangyo Techno Valley has four groups of success factors: innovative environment, consistent policy support by regional government, knowledge networks, and good feed-back system of innovation. Our findings would have some theoretical and practical implications for innovation cluster research and policy practice.

혁신클러스터는 전 세계적으로 지역의 경쟁력을 높이는 주요 도구로 활용되고 있다. 한국도 정책적으로 다양한 형태의 혁신클러스터를 조성 및 육성하고 있다. 하지만 성공적인 혁신클러스터 육성을 위한 체계적인 분석은 활발하지 않은 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 문헌연구를 통해 혁신클러스터의 성공요인을 도출하고, 이를 활용하여 분석을 위한 프레임워크를 제시하였다. 또한 제시한 프레임워크에 따라 판교테크노밸리를 대상으로 사례연구를 하였다. 분석 결과 성공적인 혁신클러스터를 위해서는 혁신지향적인 환경, 지속적인 정책적 지원, 지식 네트워크의 활성화, 혁신성과의 환류가 중요한 것으로 나타났다.
