DaedeokInnopolis has one of the longest histories of any research cluster in Asia. Started in 1970, Daedeok Innopolis has expanded to become a major center for basic and applied research in technology. In 1993, the Daedeok Research Park Administration Law was passed, giving the cluster unprecedented authority as an international research cluster.
Since then, progress at Daedeok Innopolis has accelerated, bringing in high tech firms from the early 2000s and setting the stage for the foundation of Daedeok Innopolis. In 2005 Daedeok Innopolis was formally established by a special law and provided with a coordinating headquarters to build a world-class innovation cluster covering IT, BT, NT, nuclear power and green technologies
