Let me express my delight on behalf of Korea that we have the honor to host all of you the 27th International Association of Science Parks Daedeok Conference (IASP 2010 Daedeok).
Daedeok Innopolis is one of the most impressive innovation clusters in Asia possessing world-class capability in multiple fields. We find in Daedeok Innopolis an unparalleled concentration of talent and technology.
CDMA, the global standard for mobile communications, the D-RAM semiconductor, the Korean nuclear reactor and the Arirang Satellite are the results of the research carried out at Daedeok Innopolis. Such research is at the core of Korea¡¯s economic development.
It is significant that IASP 2010 Daedeok will be held in Daejeon, the center of our research and development in science and technology that represents Korea¡¯s new global role. I am convinced this meeting of great minds in science and technology will result in very fruitful conversations.
