The concept of Smart Specialization represents a major shift in EU structural policy. It recognizes place-specific qualities and particularly locally embedded knowledge to stimulate innovative economic performance. Although there have been debates about the role of universities as innovation incubator, deliberations about their influence in regional innovation strategies (RIS3) in the context of smart specialization approaches are still under-represented. This paper therefore aims at discussing the potential role of universities and related incubator environments in smart specialization strategies, which is illustrated with the help of a German state, Mecklenburg-Vorpommern.

Smart specialization은 새로운 산업정책의 유용한 아이디어임에도 불구하고 이론적 논의는 소극적이었다. 이 글은 smart specialization에 관한 논의는 관련문헌에 비해 어떠한 새로운 관점을 제시하고 있으며, 또한 어떠한 이론적인 관련성과 정책정 유용성을 가지는가에 대하여 비판적으로 검토하기로 한다. 먼저, 스마트 전문화의 핵심적인 개념을 계량서지학(bibliometrics)으로 개관한 후, 정책적 유용성에 대해 노정한다. 본 논문의 주된 내용은 스마트 전문화의 장점과 단점을 이론적으로 논의하는 것인데, 이를 스마트 전문화에 대한 비판적 검토라고 할 수 있다.

The aim of this study is theoretical and methodological justification of formation of a new policy of spatial development of Kazakhstan's economy, which is based on the principles of inclusiveness and smart specialization. Unlike previous research, the scientific significance of the obtained results consists in the conceptual justification of the basic theoretical concepts; spatial development, covering issues of concentration, specialization, and location of production. In this study, we used scientific methods: conceptual approach involves studying various concepts of spatial development on the principle of inclusive growth and smart specialization; economic analysis allows conducting a brief assessment of the economic status of regions for a certain period; structured approach involves to the formation of new policy of spatial development. Based on this research we conclude that most successful regions have formed based on principles of inclusiveness and smart specialization, which increases opportunities for well-functioning synergistic mechanism in the field of advanced technologies with subsequent access to global markets.

This paper discusses the European Union's smart specialization strategy and US manufacturing renaissance policy and then proposes new directions for regional industrial policy in Korea. The smart specialization strategy is summarized as the entrepreneurial self-discovery and strategic coordination; the manufacturing renaissance policy as the construction of industrial commons based on ecosystem; and Korea's regional industrial policy as the build-up of regional innovation system based upon industrial clusters. The policy cases of the EU and the United States demonstrate the fact that regional industrial policy should be geographically embedded. Also, they show the relevance of policy mix by linking industrial policy with innovation policy for cross-fertilization between different industry and technology. In addition, the state plays a role as a coordinator and mediator by embedding the democratic discipline into industrial ecosystems. Considering these points, regional industrial policy should be transformed into a platform system that can facilitate linkage between industry and technology.

Joint research on software, electronic engineering, computer engineering, and financial engineering and the use of ICT knowledge through network formation play an important role in strengthening science and technology-based innovation capabilities and facilitating the development and production process of products using new technologies. For the purpose of this study, I would like to strategically propose ICT specialized education in the 4th industrial revolution. To this end, the ICT specialization model, ICT specialization strategy analysis, and ICT specialization operation and effect were explored to establish ICT specialization strategies centered on software, electronic engineering, computer engineering, and financial engineering in the era of super-intelligence, hyper-connected, and hyper-convergence. Secondly, a roadmap for detailed promotion tasks related to efficient ICT characterization based on core strategies, detailed promotion tasks, and programs was proposed, focusing on talent related to ICT characterization. Thirdly, we would like to propose a reorganization of the academic structure and organization related to ICT characterization. Finally, we would like to propose the establishment of a future-oriented education system related to ICT specialization based on the advanced education and research environment.

After the participatory government began, various cluster policies in explicit and tacit forms had been promoted. However, an opinion of coming up with new policy alternative different from the existing one is recently brought up for strengthening the competitiveness of industrial agglomerations. This research attempts to discuss the ways in which both a smart specialization strategy and a triple-helix innovation system approach, as an alternative approach to regional industrial policy, are theoretically associated with the existing cluster policy. Through this discussion, it highlights that post-cluster policy should be not just based on regional specificity, but also facilitated by establishing the consensus space of innovation on the bassis of voluntary cooperation among industry, academy and government. It also stresses that it is necessary to focus on nurturing a new industry by systematic and intensive investment and the diversification of industrial cluster for reinforcing competitiveness of local universities and revitalizing practical cooperation between industry and university.

During the last two decades, industrial cluster policies for promoting regional economic growth and industrial development have been flourishing all over the world. Even though cluster policies have partly contributed to regional industrial growth and innovation capabilities, they have long been blamed for regional industrial lock-ins and declining regional industrial resilience because of applying homeogenous cluster policies and regional specialized strategic industrial promotion policies for various localities, which are based on so-called 'selection and concentration' principle. This paper suggests postcluster policy focused on placed-based smart specialization and regional business platform strategies.

Lately, the Korean Government has gradually expanded participation by local residents who are users of the area in the smart city project for the construction of region specialization smart city service (hereinafter called "Smart Service") and the enhancement in the citizen's awareness. However, due to the lack of information on smart service-related technology, there has been a limitation in getting the specific opinion of citizens in the process of designing the Smart Service. In this study, reports made by 4 four local governments which were selected for implementation of 2019 "Smart Town Challenge Projects" were reviewed to diagnose the actualization level of the smart service suggested by citizens through the living lab. The analysis results show that though the smart service plan was established by using diverse design thinking methodology through the living lab, there was a limitation in having citizens design the specific functions of the smart service. So, this study suggests the function issue card technique which can be used by modulating and freely combining four elements such as information collection, processing, supplying method and technique of the smart service and the service contents. This function issue card technique was directly applied to the living lab of the smart city project to verify its effectiveness. It was found that through this technique, citizens can combine the functions and contents of the smart service to materialize smart services at the level of detailed functions. The function issue card technique suggested in this study is expected to contribute to the actualization of opinions for the role of citizens as co-creators in solving local problems in the citizen participation type smart city plan in the future, thus helping the design of the regional specialization smart service.
