Abstract

Up to present science and technology (S&T) policy in Korea has focused on producing academic papers and patents through the increase of investment on research and development (R&D). However, as the role of science and technology on boosting national economy has been emphasized and the current government has established 'creative economy' as a main policy agenda, 'technology commercialization' has been moving onto the center of S&T policy. Technology commercialization policy encourages R&D outcomes of public R&D institutions to be utilized in private firms for their new business development, and this concept is in line with out-bound open innovation, in the sense that it involves the flow of technological knowledge from public R&D institutions to private firms. Based on this understanding, this paper analyses government technology commercialization programs and attempts to suggest policy implications. The results suggest that future technology commercialization policy (1) be specialized in a way of reflecting the characteristics of each government ministry, (2) strongly support technology licensing-out, (3) strengthen the linkage between each programs, and (4) nurture expert groups, such as accelerators who can help and foster technology start-ups.

그동안 과학기술정책은 연구개발 투자규모를 늘여서 논문이나 특허 같은 연구성과물을 창출해내는데 집중되어 왔다. 하지만, 과학기술의 경제적 역할이 강조되고 창조경제가 부각되면서, 기술사업화에 대한 정책적 관심이 높아지고 있다. 정부가 추진하는 기술사업화란 공공연구기관의 연구성과물이 민간 기업에서 상용화될 수 있도록 지원하는 일련의 혁신과정을 일컫는데, 조직 외부로의 지식(공공기술)의 흐름과 확산을 수반한다는 점에서 유출-개방형 기술혁신과 그 맥을 같이한다고 볼 수 있다. 본고는 이러한 견지에서, 주요 경제부처(미래창조과학부, 산업통상자원부, 중소기업청)의 기술사업화 예산사업에 대한 분석을 하였다. 이를 통해 현재의 기술사업화 정책현황을 진단하고 향후 정책과제를 도출하였다. 본고는 기술사업화 예산사업이 (1) 부처별로 특화되고, (2) 기술이전에 대한 지원을 강화하며, (3) 통합적 연계를 통해 지원 스펙트럼을 확대하고, (4) 엑셀러레이터 같은 민간 전문가 그룹을 육성하는 방향으로 추진될 것을 정책제언으로 제시하였다.
