7th WTA DAEJEON HI-TECH FAIR06 OVERVIEW

Theme Green Business and Regional Economic Growth

In an industry where technology is constantly changing at a rapid rate, it becomes more challenging to stay intune with the latest technology. As hi-tech industry leaders, it is vital that we share our ideas with one another. Animportant purpose of the technology convergence is to emphasize technology and the potential for technologytransfer. This will contribute to a collaborative research in the application of the latest technologies in IT, BT, NT,ET, etc. with the objective of commercialization.

Recently, many countries and science cities have heightened interest in energy efficiency, renewable energy resources.

Realizing an innovation-based ‘green economy and business’ will enhance regional development and create a new

industry for job growth. Greening the economy refers to the process of reconfiguring businesses andinfrastructure to deliver better returns on natural, human and economic capital investments, while at the sametime reducing greenhouse gas emissions, dependence on natural resources, waste, and social disparity gap. So,the ‘Green Economy’ is to assist the countries and cities in ‘greening’ their economy. Within this framework, weshould share information and knowledge among innovation players in WTA member cities to cope with newmarket challenges and technological change, as well as to create regional innovation in the era of global climatechange.
