I. Introduction - Public Initiatives to promote Biotechnology in Korea Korea has traditionally sound basis for biotechnology development. ( strong fermentation industry) Korea has traditionally sound basis for biotechnology development. ( strong fermentation industry) Korean Government has developed strategic plans to foster competitiveness of bioindustry and biotechnology R&D capability since early 1980s. Korean Government has developed strategic plans to foster competitiveness of bioindustry and biotechnology R&D capability since early 1980s. –Biotechnology Promotion Law (1983) –National Biotech R&D Programs - HAN Projects (‘ ) - Biotech 2000 Program (‘ ) –Third phase of Biotech 2000 Program (‘02-’07) is currently being carried out.

Strategic Plans for Biotechnology Promotion (1) Strategic Plans for Biotechnology Promotion (1) zHAN Projects (‘ ) - New functional biomaterials BACKGROUND BACKGROUND - national demand was recognized to strengthen international competitiveness of Korean bioindustry IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGY IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGY - A biotechnology promotion program to attract industrial investment. - Public matching fund to industrial participation - Public R&D infrastructure was significantly fortified. (structural biology, microbial screening, etc.) (structural biology, microbial screening, etc.) INVESTMENT (’92~’01) INVESTMENT (’92~’01) - Public sector 199.2B Won + Private sector 186.8B Won - Public sector 199.2B Won + Private sector 186.8B Won

Strategic Plans for Biotechnology Promotion (2) Strategic Plans for Biotechnology Promotion (2) zBiotech 2000 Program (‘ )  BACKGROUND - Need for an interministrial coordination of government biotechnology promotion programs - need for redirection of national Biotech R&D - aims to strengthen fundamental research capability of life science  INVESTMENT - Total 16,092 Billion Won (~US $14B) for 14 years (Public sector 6,413 B Won + Private sector 9,679B Won) (Public sector 6,413 B Won + Private sector 9,679B Won) (US$5.6B) (US$8.4B) (US$5.6B) (US$8.4B)

 BASIC DIRECTIONS - to promote fundamental research in biotechnology and to attract investment from private sectors through the development of advanced technology on the strong basis of conventional biotechnology - to accelerate diffusion of the public consensus for ESST - to realize the importance of bioresources and strategic support for biodiversity conservation  STRATEGIC APPROACHES - to level up the basic life science capabilities - post genomic researches are stressed - Accelerate the commercialization of R&D outputs z Biotech 2000 Program (‘ )

V. Conclusion Korean bioindustry needs international cooperation for its growth and more efficient globalization. Korean bioindustry needs international cooperation for its growth and more efficient globalization. There are great deal of opportunity for bilateral cooperation in biotechnology between Korea and Australia. There are great deal of opportunity for bilateral cooperation in biotechnology between Korea and Australia. It is thus suggested; It is thus suggested; èto form "Korea-Australia Joint Biotechnology Forum" and hold regular meetings.  It may be good to establish a joint cooperative fund to support the exchange of scientists and joint cooperative research projects.
