해양수산과학기술 창업활성화를 위한 기술지주회사 모델 연구

A Study on the Technology Holding Company Model for Activating Entrepreneurship in Marine and Fisheries Science and Technology

본 연구는 해양수산과학기술 분야의 창업 활성화와 기술사업화를 촉진하기 위한 기술지주회사 모델의 개발을 목표로 한다. 한국의 공공기술 창업 현황과 정책, 해양수산 시장의 성장 잠재력, 그리고 과학기술의 현재 상태 및 직면한 도전 과제를 종합적으로 분석함으로써, 공공기술의 상업화와 창업을 촉진하는 구체적인 방안을 모색한다. 특히, 해양수산 분야는 연구개발 성과의 기술사업화와 창업이 미흡한 상황이기 때문에 기술지주회사 모델을 통한 창업 활성화가 필요한 것으로 분석된다. 본 연구는 Isenberg의 창업생태계 모델에 기초하여 한국해양과학기술원 연구자를 대상으로 심층면담과 설문조사를 통해 기술사업화 및 창업 요인의 현황을 분석함으로써 기술지주회사 설립의 타당성을 제시하였다. 연구 결과, 해양수산과학기술 창업 활성화를 위해서는 정책, 시장, 인적 자본, 지원, 자금, 그리고 문화의 6대 요소가 상호 작용하는 통합적 접근이 필요함을 보여주었다. 또한, 6대 구성요소의 상호작용을 활성화시키기 위해서는 'KIOST 홀딩스'와 같은 기술지주회사의 설립이 요구된다. 정부와 관련 기관은 연구개발 지원 확대, 창업 및 기술사업화에 대한 인센티브 제공, 그리고 기술지주회사 및 연구소기업에 대한 법적, 재정적 지원 체계를 구축해야 한다. 결론적으로, 해양수산과학기술 창업 활성화를 위한 기술지주회사 모델의 도입은 해양수산 산업의 지속 가능한 발전과 글로벌 경쟁력 강화에 중요한 역할을 할 것으로 기대된다.

This study aims to develop a technology holding company model to activate entrepreneurship and facilitate technology commercialization in the field of marine and fisheries science and technology. By comprehensively analyzing the current status and policies of public technology entrepreneurship in Korea, the growth potential of the marine and fisheries market, and the current situation and challenges faced by marine and fisheries science and technology, this study seeks to explore concrete measures to promote the commercialization of public technology and entrepreneurship in this field. In particular, in the marine and fisheries field, technology commercialization and entrepreneurship of research and development results are insufficient, so it is analyzed that revitalization of entrepreneurship through the technology holding company model is necessary. Based on Isenberg's startup ecosystem model, this study analyzed the current status of technology commercialization and startup factors through in-depth interviews and surveys with researchers at the Korea Institute of Ocean Science and Technology, and analyzed the feasibility of establishing a technology holding company. The research results suggest that an integrated approach is needed in which six major elements of policy, market, human capital, support, funding, and culture interact to revitalize marine and fisheries science and technology startups. In order to activate the interaction of the six major components, the establishment of a technology holding company such as 'KIOST Holdings' is necessary. Government and related agencies need to expand R&D support, provide incentives for entrepreneurship and technology commercialization, and establish legal and financial support systems for technology holding companies and research-based startups. Such support will lay the foundation for the sustainable development and global competitiveness of the marine and fisheries science and technology sector. The introduction of a technology holding company model for activating entrepreneurship in marine and fisheries science and technology is expected to play a crucial role in the sustainable development and enhancement of global competitiveness in the marine industry. This study suggests that the establishment of technology holding companies like 'KIOST Holdings' could serve as a foundation for implementing these strategies, marking an important step towards overcoming the limitations of Korean marine and fisheries science and technology and activating entrepreneurship and technology commercialization in this sector.
