Gov't to designate 'new growth engine industries' for smaller firms
제목 없음
The government plans to designate software, wind and solar power, stem cell and
other industries as new growth engines for small- and medium-sized firms this
week, with trillions of won to be invested in the sectors, an official said
Tuesday.
The move is in line with President Lee Myung-bak's "ecosystemic development" campaign, which calls for shared growth between conglomerates and smaller companies as part of efforts to narrow growing social inequalities, including the gap between rich and poor.
In a parliamentary budget speech on Monday, Lee said that joint growth between conglomerates and smaller firms determines national competitiveness and that the government will identify "ecosystemic development-type" projects and provide financial and institutional support.
"We determined the industries based on total industrial trends and the level of technology of our country," a presidential official said. "The most important criteria was whether they fit well for smaller firms and how many jobs they could create."
Star software entrepreneur and professor Ahn Cheol-soo once co-headed the government commission tasked with selecting the industries until last month, officials said.
