SESSION 3) Creating Innovation Ecosystem for a Post-Pandemic World
Covid-19 has changed an entire landscape of the innovation ecosystem by accelerating the exploitation of digital technologies while weakening traditional innovation factors. The current innovation ecosystem is rapidly reorganizing as ‘the big blur’ in which boundaries between industries are collapsing, appears, but it is ambiguous how the innovation ecosystem should be reconstructed and how ‘destructive creation’ should take place in the era of a post-pandemic world. In this context, the present session seeks to resolve this issue with global innovation leaders by setting future agendas and proposing a new innovation ecosystem for the post-pandemic era.
SUB) A Roundtable with Science and Technology Expert
The advent of two great external factors, digital transformation and the COVID-19 pandemic, have caused technological innovation to evolve in different ways. Beyond technological convergence, as the industries merge into one, the roles of traditional innovators such as universities, research institutes, and companies, are changing. Instead, a new innovation ecosystem is created where finance and individual entities become agents of change. In this session, we intend to broadly discuss the direction of reorganization and development of Korea's innovation system in the midst of such a change.
