Description

Here, K also means 'Korea' and 'knowledge'. The key content is about the strategic framework and implementation plans for the transfer and commercialization of public climate technology in the Republic of Korea. Korea is a representative country that has grown through science and technology. In particular, it was largely influenced by national and public research and development (R&D) in shipbuilding, color television, CDMA, semiconductors, etc. Since 2010s, nationally the green transition has emerged as a hot topic following reflection on the application and spread of gray technologies. Accordingly, the Korean government has been continuously supporting green growth policies and green technology sharing for developing countries as our partner countries for the past 15 years. However, as the global climate crisis is increasingly emphasized, we need a more innovative and creative climate tech strategies and means. This presentation focuses on two topics: One is how to share the experience and continuation of Korea's public Climate Tech with partner countries, and the other is how to create public technologies of Korea transfer to developing countries commercially.
