Commercialization of Bioinformatics: Importance of External Integration

바이오인포매틱스 제품의 상용화 : 외부통합의 중요성

To promote successful bioinformatics commercialization in terms of CoPS, we try to explore a commercialization process based on the characteristics of the product. Our study shows that external integration with sector-specific infrastructure is a critical factor to obtaining a knowledge base for CoPS commercialization, and that sector-specific local infrastructure is useful resource for early commercialization stages(imagining, incubating, and demonstrating stages). This paper analyzes Ensoltek's commercialization process on the basis of analysis of bioinformatics industry and Daeduck Science Park. This leads us to suggest the following policy implication for supporting commercialization activities in bioinformatics industry ; long-term investment policy towards infrastructure and software R&D, promotion policy for collaboration, and introduction of commercialisation based industry-university-public research institute cooperation.
