We once only imagined
When imagination becomes a reality, innovation is created
it has been part of our lives under the name of ‘convenience’ and ‘smart’
Rapid technology development lies at the center of innovation, and
KETI has been put at the center of such growth.

30 year long technology connecting imagination to the world!
Under the banner of Unframed Perspective, KETI proposes the 2030 core value for the better future out of the frame

Funded by businesses, KETI was established for the purpose of development of the electronics industry and support for SMEs and, developed GSM mobile telecommunication devices and,
focused on localization of devices and electronic components at the early stage.

In 2005, the headquarter moved to Bundang.
By boosting electronics/IT hybrid technology development, expanding global technology cooperation, advancing the business cooperation platform, KETI has become a global R&D research institute.

With the recent development of ‘COVID-19 epidemiological investigation support system’ KETI has drawn international attention, and transformed itself from an institute for electronic component, and renewed itself by renaming the official Korean name in 2020.

KETI has grown to the national 7th largest institute in R&D project scale among 41 public research institutes, striving to serve as an innovation maker in the 4th Industrial Revolution

For the past 30 years, KETI has worked hard but we cannot stay complacent.
4th Industrial Revolution, digital transformation, global trade conflict, climate crisis, and more significant changes and challenges than that of the past 3 decades are lying before us.

By turning this challenge and crisis into an opportunity, we will open a new future.

To this end, through research, transforming ourselves from ‘Research’ institute to ‘Value Creator’, We will provide innovative value to industry, business, people, society, nation.

First, we will contribute to ‘great transformation in 5 major industries’ which closely woven into our lives

More than half of our R&D workforce built their career on enterprises.
By utilizing KETI’s innovative sources including technology commercialization-centered patent portfolio, and the world’s very first 5G smart factory, and our global network,
We have developed KETI’s Core Tech,
source technology encompassing materials·parts·ICT.

In response to the 4th Industrial Revolution, Core Tech has become Enabling Tech which leads the changing industrial landscape including XR, robotics.

Against this backdrop, KETI will drive the great transformation in 5 major industries.

Metaverse, AI Life care, Full Driving Automation, Industry 5.0, Net zero!

In 2030, the great transformation in 5 major industries!
KETI’s Enabling Tech is here, which innovates the future.

Immersive media advances into metaverse in 2030.

Immersive media is the sub-XR technology such as AR, VR and addresses the spatial constraint.

KETI’s hologram technology, which is the nation’s most advanced technology,
realizes truly immersive metaverse combining the real and virtual worlds.

Digital human technology will lead you to digital life in the metaverse space where everyone dreams about.

Bio-healthcare will advance into AI lifecare in 2030.

AI analyzes medical bigdata thereby creating innovation service in healthcare, beauty and medical fields.

A wide variety of KETI’s wearable devices including disease detection patch serves as your digital doctors.

In addition, development of bio sensor and bio-chip including organ-on-a-chip will hold the era of personalized-medicine.

Intelligence mobility pushes for Lv.5, full driving automation.

Our advanced V2X and LiDAR technology accelerate the arrival of the full driving automation era.

It enables passengers to rest on a vehicle through infotainment UX.

KETI’s all solid-state battery using sulfide solid electrolyte significantly improves battery safety for EVs, and even this technology was once transferred.

In 2030, Industry 5.0 will dawn upon us when human-robot cooperation is enhanced.

With digital twin which copies physical industrial sites into the virtual world, and deep learning-based intelligent robotics, and the world’s very first 5G-based IIOT operation technology, 6G-based technology, KETI leads future manufacturing innovation.

Ultimately, it will help the world take a step further towards Net-Zero, meaning zero emission.

Green energy solutions such as hydrogen, wind, and PV power, and energy&IT hybrid technology including VPP which is the integrated operation platform for distributed sources, and power conversion system which minimizes energy loss, they create new energy-environment markets going beyond sustainable growth.

We will also contribute to scale up for SMEs.

Committee, Companionship, Channel.

By upholding these Triple C, we will provide business support for win-win cooperation.

To this end, we will organize electronics technology innovative growth committee, responsible for business cooperation.
In addition to KETI’s technology infrastructure support which has enabled realization of business ideas,

We push for co-growth with businesses through related committees by
supporting technology capacity enhancement by IP consulting,
supporting the global market expansion by the global network platform operation,
providing financial aid such as direct/indirect investment.

Based on the support,
we will spare no effort to help businesses take a leap forward.

Second, we will focus on making wider, deeper relations with businesses.

Moving from the existing program limited to internal sources,
KETI will create an open platform encompassing business support programs from related organizations thereby expanding the scope of business support.

We will also establish AI system based on the accumulated business support data, and propose new support programs suitable for business growth stages, and drive business growth throughout their life cycle.

Third, we will provide much better business access.

We will move from the institute-oriented business access,
And build cooperation channels that directly connects researchers and technologies to businesses.

Such channels will be well-organized, and provide new opportunity for convergence innovation.

To this end, KETI will develop and share various contents, and create a business-friendly environment enabling easier utilization of KETI’s innovation capacity.

Lastly, KETI will contribute to addressing national, social issues.

Today, we are faced with various national, social issues.

Recent global trade conflicts are posing a huge threat to our industry.

Against this backdrop, KETI will secure next-generation core technology in semiconductor and battery fields designated as 3 national strategic technologies.
By doing so, we will be conducive to Korea’s response to global race for technology dominance.

In line with government policies,
we will lead to making South Korea a materials, parts, equipment powerhouse
through core technology localization of materials, parts, equipment, and nurturing SMEs.

We will also make efforts to enhance local innovation capacity.

To this end, with its 30year-long R&D capacity, the nation-wide business cooperation network, experiences in various national alliance operation, know-how to global testbed building,
KETI will become a local innovation hub.

We will propose local-oriented vision and strategies for Jeonbuk, Gwangju, Jeonnam, Geyongnam.

The answer to daily social issues lies in KETI’s technologies.

Transportation, environment, crime, disaster, disease…
KETI will hold a better future by proposing best solutions through various ‘problem-solving R&D’ approaches.

KETI’s 30-year-long tech capacity and unrivaled innovative technology contribute to driving economic growth.

As the best partner to businesses in need of electronics technology,
KETI holds 2030 future values!

Unframed Perspective!
Out of the frame, through bold change and challenge,
KETI will take the initiative in holding a future.
