This study aims at establishing a knowledge transfer system between academics and industries in the Chungnam Region. We analyze the difficulties encountered by the technology licensing offices of universities in the Chungnam Region through a practical analysis of the current situation regarding the transfer of the knowledge developed in the universities. The problems found included the poor circumstances of the TLO of the universities, very limited number of requests for knowledge transfer by the companies, distrust of university technologies and the absence of related networks and platforms. Especially, there is insufficient concern and recognition of the regional actors in the knowledge transfer system. Therefore, in order to improve the regional competitiveness, these problems should be fixed by enacting suitable government policies.

This study provides an empirical analysis based on 2012 Korea Innovation Survey (STEPI) to investigate the relation between R&D cooperation and in-house R&D investment. The study further analyzes the effect of the R&D cooperation and in-house R&D investment on technical innovation. First, the relation between company's in-house R&D investment and R&D cooperations is estimated with the two equations using SUR models. Second, the effect of in-house R&D investment and R&D cooperation on the company's technical innovation is estimated using Probit model. This study differs from other existing R&D studies using Korean data in that empirical models are based on structural relationships among in-house R&D, R&D cooperation, and technical innovation. The results can be summarized as follows; the R&D cooperation expands the in-house R&D investment and the in-house R&D strengthen the R&D cooperation. Furthermore, In-house R&D investment increases the chances of success in innovation. As we obtain evidence of complementary relation between R&D cooperation and in-house R&D investment, it is necessary to develop environment conducive to this complementarity in order to have more efficient R&D system.

The purpose of this study is to explore the convergence sector of the spatial information industry based on the business transaction data of spatial information companies and to predict the market size of the industry using the Seemingly Unrelated Regression(SUR) model. The convergence part of spatial information industry, which cannot be identified in the Spatial Data Industry Survey, was analyzed by exploring keywords related to spatial information using the business DB of Korea Enterprise Data (2010-2019). The convergence of spatial information businesses mainly appeared in the business relationship between the value chain between Seoul and Gyeonggi Province. The convergence business has the largest sales in the value chain 2 (utilization, service) & 3 (convergence), and also the convergence in the value chain 1 (production, construction) & 2, 2 & 3 stages has doubled in 2019 compared to 2010. In 2019, the total sales of the spatial information industry based on the Statistical Korea were announced at about 8 trillion won, but in this study, the total sales of the spatial information industry were estimated at 28 trillion won considering convergence activities. Finally, when scenario 1 (0.38% population growth, 2020-2024) and 0.07% (2026-2030) were applied using the SUR model to predict the expected market size of the industry, sales decreased by -0.37% to 0.069% in 2025 and 2030 by respectively. When scenario 2 (average wage growth 1.2%) was applied during the same period, sales in the industry increased by 2.326% to 12.185%. In other words, the sales in the spatial information industry depends on Labor, Total Factor Productivity, and Capital Productivity so it is necessary to additional research on policy development and alternatives of enhancing each productivity.
