Start-up support policy is expanding for the activation of creative economy. Domestic start-up is activated in early 2000, but is shrinked rapidly because there is not enough collaborative system of R&D, start-up, finance, and management support. Many organizations and collaborative environment in Silicon valley of USA is developed for long time. In Korea, creative economy is constructing rapidly led by government like building industrialization and information society. VCDP(Virtual Cluster-type Dynamic Collaboration Platform) is a good tool for the start-up support policy. This study explains the necessity and effectiveness of VCDP and suggests creative activation policy using this tool.

This research targeted discussions on re-utilization of Korean creative economic innovation center. It is meaningless to simply discuss its re-organization. The focus of this study was to find a way that transforms it into totally new one. The study followed several steps. First, it delineated criteria from existing literature for comparing creative eco-system of Silicon valley, Kyoto eco-system and eco-system based on Korean creative economic innovation center. Second, it compared the three eco-systems in details. Third, it discussed a direction for transforming eco-system based on Korean creative economic innovation center. It was suggested that the Kyoto eco-system can be a role model. It was also suggested that governmental role should be changed from controller to facilitatior which stimulates regulation relaxations and helps to establish market formation.

Creative industries are important due to the capability of enhancing urban competitiveness. This study is focused on unravelling the uneven growth and geographic distributions of creative industries. The main results are as follows. First, the primary city, Seoul, has too much eminence than the citysize rule suggests, and the creative-industry elasticity is very high compared to population and all industry. Second, Seoul is reinforcing the uneven growth with adjacent cities. Third, the local main cities have little power to enhance creative industries and the local small cities grow randomly. Fourth, each city should have more deliberation in accepting creative industries as an urban growth strategy.

The theory of creative city can be seen as one that reflects a relationship between recent change of economic environment and socio-spatial reconstruction in the so-called 'cultural turn' to deindustrialization. This paper considers approaching methods to knowledge-based economy or cultural economy as a context of development of theory of creative city, and suggests types of conceptualization of creative city. Then it reviews creative perspectives which can be found in recent domestic and oversea research trends on creative city, especially relating its nature with neoliberalism. Finally this paper discusses critically the concept of creative class as a social constitution of creativity or creative economy, and that of creative city as its spatial constitution. The concept of creative class can be criticized in terms of ambiguity of the concept of class, class-biased and economy-privileged idea, market valorization of culture, individualization against community, normalization of flexible labor market, and uncertainty of economic success of creative city. The concept of creative city can be criticized in terms of limitation of interests to city, ignorance of national and global dimensions, decontextual normative vision, legitimation of neoliberal city, lack of proof of causality between creative class and economic success, polarization of within and between cities.

박근혜 대통령은 '국민행복, 희망의 새 시대'라는 국정비전을 실현하기 위한 핵심 국정 과제로 창조경제와 문화융성을 채택했다. 창조경제란 상상력과 창의성을 과학기술과 정보통신기술에 접목해 새로운 성장동력을 만들어내는 것을 말한다. 창조경제를 위해서는 '연구'가 빠질 수 없다. 또한 신성장동력을 발굴하고 신규 시장을 개척하기 위해서도 연구는 꼭 필요한 투자다.

전 세계적으로 저성장이 지속되고 있다. 이에 각국은 새로운 성장 동력 마련에 고심하고 있으며, 저성장을 겪고 있는 우리나라 또한 창조산업을 통해 경제성장 및 일자리 창출을 높이겠다는 '창조경제'를 국정과제로 내세우고 이를 달성하기 위해 노력 중이다. 이와 같은 창조경제의 핵심 요소는 기업가정신이다. 하지만, 창조경제를 견인할 청년층의 기업가정신이 쇠퇴하고 있다. 이에 최근 정부와 학교, 민간단체에서 청년층의 기업가정신 함양을 위한 교육을 강화하고 있다. 이 중 기업가정신 교육이 활발하게 이루어지고 있는 숙명여자대학교의 사례를 살펴보고 대학에서 이루어지는 기업가정신 교육이 나아갈 방향에 대해 살펴보고자 한다.

The new Korean government sets its main policy direction as Creative Economy. The Creative Economy can be defined as a growth strategy that establishes new companies, enhances the competitiveness of established companies and creates new markets, industries and jobs in consequence of combining of creative imagination, science and technology and ICT. In this context, the concept of innovation cluster, which aims to foster technological innovations from an organic ecosystem perspective, can be a valid policy instrument for attaining Creative Economy. Innovation cluster can and must make a contribution to achieving the Creative Economy of Korea. In particular, the ICT Convergence Innovation Cluster will be a good strategy for this purpose. Based on this conceptual background, this paper analyzes a recently notable case of an ICT Convergence Cluster in Korea, Pangyo Technovalley (PTV). We argue that the Pangyo Technovalley is a representative cluster of converging ICT and science and technology. We identify the major factors for successful development of ICT cluster: regional government's flexible response to environmental change, careful pre-planning and balance between private and public involvement. In addition, we also found that additional factors, settlement condition for securing good workforce, agglomeration of various innovation actors for promoting convergence, and cluster network revitalization are also important for implementing the creative ICT convergence cluster.

Maker culture in Korea began to receive public attention after the 2012 Maker Fair Seoul. Central and local governments took note of this trend and subsumed makers' culture into its policy domains such as Creative Industry, Creative Cities, 4th Industrial Revolution, and the all-encompassing Creative Economy. Creative Economy was a public policy discourse formed in the public sector for the purpose of overcoming economic depression and revitalizing the economy. Under Creative Industry and Creative Economy, creativity and culture/arts are deemed indispensable but at the same time objectified and alienated as their ultimate value are recognized only as the basis for economic production. In this article, makers' culture itself goes through the same process of objectification and alienation that creativity and culture/arts suffered as the relevant policies were pursued under Creative Economy. The authors attempted to corroborate this through the case of Makercity Sewoon, and found that the Seoul City's urban development plan surrounding Sewoon Plaza proceeded in a direction destructive to the local technological ecosystem and therefore conflicts with the pronounced goal of leading 4th Industrial Revolution by encouraging and nurturing makers' culture. Makercity Sewoon, although packaged in a discourse of Creative Economy and Creative City, betrayed the same problem of alienating arts/culture and labor that the previous discourse showed.
