Daedeok Innopolis is the new name employed to described the research and development district in the Yuseong-gu district in Daejeon, South Korea. Daedeok Innopolis grew out of the research cluster established by President Park Chunghee in 1973 with the opening of the Korean Institute for Advanced Science and Technology (KAIST). Over 20 major research institutes and over 40 corporate research centers make up this innovation ecosystem. Over the last few years, a large number of IT venture companies have sprung up in this region, which boasts a high concentration of Ph.Ds in the applied sciences. There are 232 research and educational institutions to be found in Daejeon, many in the Daedeok region, the most famous of which are the Electronic Telecommunications Research Institute (ETRI) and Korean Aerospace Research Institute (KARI). There were over 5,000 researchers with doctorate degrees located in the area as of 2007.[1]
