Abstract

The Korean government is aiming to strengthen industrial and national competitiveness through the promotion of cooperation between universities, public research institutes and industry and vitalization of technology transfer. In 2013 and 2014, the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy and Ministry of Science, ICT and Future Planning have announced policies to support SMEs by public research organizations. In addition, in 2015, the 'Korean Fraunhofer support system', which pay government subsidies according to the amounts of private R&D funds was adopted. However, there are some concern about the government's policies. There is yet disclosed how these policies affect technology transfer because industrial R&D funding has not been activated in Korea unlike German. Therefore this paper analyzes effects of relationship between universities, public research institutes and external organizations on performance of technology transfer based on the Triple Helix Model. Empirical results show that the relationship with the government has a significant impact on the resource security and the relationship with the industry has a significant effect on the diffusion of the performance. In addition, a public research institute was selected and case analysis was conducted to suggest policy implications for improving the technology transfer performance of universities and public research institutes.

정부는 대학 공공연구소와 중소 중견기업 간 협력 및 기술이전 활성화를 통해 산업 경쟁력 강화를 도모하고 있다. 산업부는 2013년에 전문생산기술연구소를 활용한 중소 중견기업 기술혁신 지원방안을 마련하였으며, 미래부는 2014년에 정부 출연연구기관의 중소 중견기업 연구개발 전진기지화 방안을 발표하였다. 또한, 2015년에는 국가과학심의회를 통해 민간수탁 실적에 따라 정부출연금을 차등 지급하는 '한국형 프라운호퍼식' 지원방식을 채택하였다. 하지만 일각에서는 이러한 정부 정책에 우려를 표하고 있다. 독일과 달리 우리나라는 민간수탁 연구개발 환경이 활성화되지 않은 상황으로 정부의 정책적 지원이 기술이전에 어떤 영향을 미치는 지 알 수 없기 때문이다. 이에 본 연구에서는 트리플 헬릭스 모형에 기반하여 대학 공공연구기관과 정부, 산업계와의 관계가 기술이전 성과에 어떤 영향을 미치는 지를 분석하였다. 실증 분석 결과, 자원 확보 관점에서는 정부와의 관계가 중요한 영향을 미쳤으며, 성과 확산 측면에서는 산업계와의 관계가 중요한 영향을 미쳤다. 또한, 공공연구소 한 곳을 선정하여 사례분석을 실시하여 대학 공공연구소의 기술이전 성과 개선을 위한 정책적 시사점을 제시하였다.
