중소기업의 기술사업화 실태와 정책과제

Abstract

A success rate of R&D projects by SMEs is estimated to be 96%, but a rate of technology commercialization is only 48%. It turns out that the outcome of project implementation, supported by government R&D budget is inefficient. In spite of a high success rate of R&D projects, more than 50% of SMEs end up failing to continue to use their technologies by failing to commercialize them. SMEs point out a lack of specialized manpower, commercialization funds, etc., but the government’s support system for technological commercialization is insufficient. Governmentt’s R&D funding excessively focuses on a development stage rather than a planning and commercialization stage. A lack of connectivity between several technology projects of commercialization is a problem, as well. It is necessary to build up overall support system and create an environment for technology commercialization. Not only to accelerate technology commercialization of SMEs, but to step up a support for a planning and commercialization stage, which is indeed pre and post R&D. When allocating R&D budget of SMEs, a way of financing, focused on the development stage, should change to a focus on a planning and commercialization stage. Also, it is necessary to capitalize commercialization funds, support and produce manpower specialized in commercialization, and operate an organization dedicated in technology commercialization, etc.
