대전 투자생태계 현황 및 활성화 방안 연구

Abstract

In a situation where the sense of crisis over regional extinction due to rapidly low birth rate and hyper-aging is increasing, a strategy to utilize regional specialized resources as a solution to prevent regional extinction is very important. Although Daejeon's most important strategy is to build a startup ecosystem using the excellent technology of Daedeok Innopolis, which is a core specialized resource, it is showing problems such as a decrease in startups and the absence of companies worth investing in. This study conducted in-depth interviews with the investment ecosystem members focusing on the six components of Isenberg (2011) with the purpose of identifying the core problems of Daejeon's investment ecosystem and presenting policy implications. As a result of in-depth interviews with Daejeon start-ups, investors, LPs, etc., it was analyzed that the key is to shift from an excessively technology-oriented corporate tendency to a market-oriented paradigm. The technology-oriented nature of the company presents problems such as a lack of understanding of the market and lack of proactiveness in networking to attract investment. In particular, there is no network between excellent technology research teams and prospective entrepreneurs with a strong entrepreneurial spirit to grow into unicorn companies by utilizing the deep tech of Daedeok Innopolis. In order to revitalize the startup ecosystem utilizing the excellent technology of Daedeok Innopolis, a key specialized resource of Daejeon, nurturing entrepreneurs and activating network culture, which are human resources among the components of the investment ecosystem, were identified as key. To this end, this study presented specific programs.
