—SUMMARY
— Innovation is being embraced by ASEAN but is still at an early
stage
• There is significant growth in ASEAN patent filings 2012-2014
• Resident filings have grown from 8.6% in 2005 to 12.4% in
2014
— In global terms, ASEAN patent activity is comparable to Latin
America, but is significantly less than Europe, The Americas an
Asia overall
29. 11
—
— Singapore leads the way with the highest volumes of published
patent applications, but is still some way behind Hong Kong
— Technology focus in ASEAN nations is similar in each country
and focused on healthcare and chemistry and less on hi-tech
although Qualcomm heads the list of most patents in three of
four ASEAN countries
— There is recognition that more investment is needed in R&D to
drive innovation
• Under a 20 year plan, Thailand have recently announced
intent to raise R&D spending to 1% of GDP over 2017-
2021 rising to 4% by 2036

The progressive advancement in educational values of Korea have reflected the
changing needs of society
Establishment of
POSTECH
In 1980s, it was crucial for Korea to produce top-level researchers because the
country began to shift the focus of its industry from the Heavy Chemical Industry to
the cutting-edge technology.
POSTECH has led the progressive transformation in the role of the Korean university.
※ Seoul National University (SNU) and KAIST, two of Korea’s most prestigious universities in 1980s, were also influenced by POSTECH.
