A total of 19,761 cases Accounting for about 9% of the entire domestic aerospace papers and academic presentations.
A total of 5,802 cases Accounting for about 54% of the entire domestic aerospace patents and intellectual properties.
Recorded 20.3% of technology transfer impact on the increase of 390 million won annual revenue per enterprise on average. Results of a survey on the companies get technology transfer by KARI.
29 infrastructures
Increased external utilization rate of the constructed infrastructures (27.1% → 75.5%)
* Applicable for the satellite and aviation sector only.
Increased by about 47.1%p early 1999, compared to the U.S. (100)
The Korea Aerospace Research Institute estimated the effect of the investment in R&D over 30 years on economic growth to be 18,776.1 billion won (1.48% of economic growth).
Production inducement effect | Value-added inducement effect | Employment creation effect |
---|---|---|
7,950.6 billion won | 4,506.1 billion won | 61,961 persons |
* Based on the domestic input costs (excluding indirect costs) from 1990 to 2017. The small category base coefficient of the inter-industry relations table, Bank of Korea, is applied. Current values were calculated using the GDP deflator of the Bank of Korea's economic statistics system.
The number of institutions participating in R&D activity coorperation with the Korea Aerospace Research Institute over the last 30 years increased about 52 times in the last three years (2015 ~ 2017) compared to the early 1990’s.
* Results of analyzing the internal data of the Korea Aerospace Research Institute (project cooperation and ordering, joint research data, etc.)
The R&D budget of the Korea Aerospace Research Institute contributing to vitalization of aerospace industry ecosystem through re-investment such as prototype production, technology introduction, and outsourcing/joint research.
