The emergence of Korea as a knowledge powerhouse in the intense global
competition in the 21st century is the first step towards becoming a
globally advanced country.
Recognizing the above, the IPS, which was established under the auspices
of the Ministry of Commerce, Industry and Energy (MOCIE) in 1993, consistently
engages in activities not only to predict changes in the domestic competition,
but also to predict future environment changes, and focuses on policy
and strategy development aimed at enhancing the competitiveness of the
government and businesses.
IPS carries out empirical studies on worldwide industrial policies,
advisory work on government organizations and consulting activities
for corporate strategic planning. It also selects trends emerging as
the source of competitiveness going forward for its research themes,
and provides advanced education programs based on the accumulated research
results.
To conduct advanced research on the newly emerging research themes,
the IPS taps into its more than 30 research centers comprised of a vast
network of experts, and based on the accumulated research results, regularly
hosts seminars as well as symposiums that serve as a venue for presentation
of results of major studies to advance the economy and management-related
mindset of top managers, and operates database of research findings
for related parties to share knowledge and information.
IPS will continue to conduct practical researches and educational activities
in order to contribute to Korea's emergence as a knowledge powerhouse,
and will do its utmost to provide useful and essential information for
enterprises and the nation.
We ask for your continued interest and support.
Thank you.
