  • The aim of this article is to analyze problems of the government-led region-based business-university-research institute collaborations(BURIC) in Korea and to present main issues for solving and improving the current 'cul-de-sac' of these collaborations. The main problem of such collaborations is the wider divergence of opinions by actors who implement projects of the BURIC funded by the central and local government. Due to this problem, each region, mainly the non-Seoul metropolitan region, in Korea has problems of the system and people for BURIC. Within this context, main issues of the government-led and region-based BURIC is focused upon BURIC for the start-up of self-employment and the expansion of companies' lifespan. Since 2000, experts and policy-makers have emphasized business- (or company-) centered BURIC rather than University-focused one. This point of view should be improved or corrected. That is to say, policies of BURIC are in need of focusing upon the start-up for self-employment and the expansion of companies' lifespan.
