The main aim of this paper is to provide a plan for building an effective and competitive innovation system of Daeduck Valley in Korea through analysing the process of knowledge production and commercialisation of venture firms in the perspective of industry-(university) research networks. Since 1997, with the willingness of the government aimed at building' second Sillicon Valley', an ostensible innovation system cantered around the existing science technology town has been able to be built in Daeduck Valley. Nonetheless, some fundamental problems with the knowledge production and commercialisation of venture firms were appeared as the results of this study. It is led tv not only the lack of network agents and institutes that are able to facilitate and coordinate the networks of economic actors comprised of the innovation system, but also the impertinent roles of economic actors. In particular, these problems were differentiated in accordance with the growth stage of venture firms and the processes of knowledge production. Therefore, several policy implications for building innovation system are suggested in the perspective of the complement of existing innovation system of Daeduck, rather than constructing a new innovation system. At the same time, they are provided in accordance with different growth stages and knowledge production processes.

This study aims to draw the characteristics of the regional operation system of the shared research instrument service, which contributes to the R&D investment efficiency by the avoidance of duplicated research instrument investment and the enhancement of the network collaboration. So from the perspective of technology infrastructure policy and regional innovation system, Gyeonggi region of Korean metropolitan area has been analyzed for the case study. The case study has been conducted by 2 step process of within-case analysis and cross-case analysis. Firstly, the characteristics of operation system of the shared research instrument have been examined through various research methods. Secondly, in the cross-case analysis, the examined issues and problems have been organized by the matrix of 3 organizational governance characteristics and 4 issues to facilitate the regional policy approach. The issues deducted by the cross-case analysis have been deducted as (1) 'usage fee charge system', 'relevant method for the performance index and measurement of the instrument service management' for the regional policy led case, (2) 'performance management issue', 'financial and managerial accounting system for the instrument operating division', and 'change of budget support scheme' for the joint operation case and lastly (3) 'usage facilitation after the expiration of research lab support project' for the university led case.
