■ The world's best science and technology in Korea, and the sweat and tears of the researchers at Daedeok Research and Development Special Zone! Korea's scientific level has grown so rapidly that the world is surprised. In the case of nuclear fusion, while everyone else was making nuclear fusion reactors with copper, Korea made a nuclear fusion reactor with electromagnetic magnets and succeeded in maintaining 100 million-degree ultra-high temperature plasma for 30 seconds for the first time in the world in 2021. Since Korea has the most advanced technology, the international nuclear fusion reactor being built in France is also being built based on Korea's technology. In addition, we have successfully developed a groundbreaking technology that can make synthetic gas, a petrochemical raw material, using carbon dioxide, the main culprit of global warming, and have completed the world's largest carbon dioxide utilization plant in Ulsan. If we start producing synthetic gas here while reducing carbon dioxide next year, the paradigm of the global petrochemical industry will change. Korea will be able to transform from a country that imports oil to a country that exports the latest petrochemical technology. In addition, the Daedeok Research and Development Special Zone is continuously developing the world's best science and technology for the future food of Korea, such as the '5G small cell' technology that continues the technological prowess of a mobile communications powerhouse, and the primate model that is essential for developing treatments and vaccines for infectious diseases such as COVID-19. ■ Innovative world-class science and technology! Daedeok Research and Development Special Zone leading the future industry of Korea! Daedeok Research and Development Special Zone is not only home to research institutes. During the IMF, many researchers lost their jobs and took on the challenge of starting their own businesses! Currently, as many as 2,300 companies are located in Daedeok Research and Development Special Zone. Some of them have transferred technology from government-funded research institutes, while others are working together on research projects and achieving synergy effects through collaboration. The vice president of technology of a venture company that recently surprised the global market with a firework drone show is from Daedeok Research and Development Special Zone, and the chairman of a company that exported PCR diagnostic devices to over 100 countries around the world during COVID-19 is also from Daedeok Research and Development Special Zone. In this way, the Daedeok Research and Development Special Zone is not only developing technology, but also transferring technology to companies to develop Korean industries and serve as a foundation for fostering national growth engines. In a recent robot competition held in the UK, the Korean KAIST team won first place by beating the American MIT team by more than four times the score. While other robots all use visual information, the KAIST robot differed in that it did not use visual information but utilized artificial intelligence learning. When everyone else thought that vision should be used, creativity boldly utilized artificial intelligence instead of visual information! As long as there are creative and passionate young people in Korea, the future of Korea is bright. The era of 'K-Science' led by the Daedeok Research and Development Special Zone is anticipated.
