Definition by the General Policy for Development of National Converging Technologies(’07)
A field which has the possibility of
realizing new technology by
chemically Converging
new technology such as
IT, BT and NT
A field which can possibly
overcome the current limitations of
science & technology through
convergence of heterogeneous
technologies
A field which can possibly lead us
to secure a first-mover position
in the marketing medium
and long term
Definition in the Master plan for Development of Converging Technologies(’09~’13)
The technology leading future economy, society and culture by creating new value through synergistic convergence between new technologies, existing industry and academics.Convergence of new technology and existing academics (liberal arts, art/culture, etc.)
ex) Converged contents and knowledge service technology, research on brain and cognitive science
Convergence between new technologies
ex) nano-bio material->Nano-Bio materials, IT nanotechnology
Convergence of new technology and existing industry
ex) intelligent automotive technology, urban high-tech industrial complex construction technology
Definition of Convergence by the Center
Definition slightly revised from other previous studiesex)Ultra Large Scale
Integratedsemiconguctors
ex)Technology utillizing big data
ex)Space development, high-techweapon development
