Daedeok Special R&D Zone (INNOPOLIS DAEDEOK)

The Multicultural Family Support Center offers one-stop services to marriage migrants, from Korean language education to family counseling and children’s education.

Over the past 40 years, INNOPOLIS DAEDEOK has elevated Korea to the third most competitive country in the world in science and technology (2019, IMD Switzerland). INNOPOLIS DAEDEOK has played a critical role in making Korea the science and technology powerhouse it is today.

INNOPOLIS DAEDEOK will continue to serve as a hub for the nationwide diffusion of public R&D achievements and a leading model for public technology commercialization. We will reinforce our network with metropolitan and special R&D zones across the country and build a robust system of national-regional linkages for innovative growth.
