In Korea, where people achieved rapid economic growth overcoming aftermath of the Korean War very shortly, there are unique success factors which are absolutely not easy to be found in the world history. Based on this recognition, the Ministry of Strategy and Finance of Korean Government (MOSF) and the Korean Development Institute (KDI) launched Knowledge Sharing Program (KSP) in 2004. KSP aims to share Korea’s development experience and knowledge accumulated over the past decades to assist socio-economic development of the partner countries. Former high-ranking government officials are directly involved in policy consultations to share their intimate knowledge of development challenges, and they complement the analytical work of policy experts and specialists who have extensive experience in their fields. The government officials and practitioners effectively pair up with their counterparts in development partner countries to work jointly on pressing policy challenges and share development knowledge in the process. The program includes policy research, consultation and capacity-building activities, all in all to provide comprehensive, tailor-made assistance to the partner country in building a stable foundation and fostering capabilities to pursue self- sustainable growth. In 2012, the United Mexican States cooperated with Korea for the first time for KSP, and the project had completed very successfully. It made Mexican government to have expanded scaled of 2013 KSP which have four states of Mexico as cooperative partners. In this report, there are analytical research result of four main topics; improvement and enlargement of Dual Education system of the State of Mexico; Establishment of development plan of CETAI for capacity-building of automotive industry of state of Queretaro; system improvement and plan for new industrial complex in Altiplano in state of Hidalgo; enhancement of the competitiveness of the metal mechanic industry of the state of Chihuahua. Through the cooperation with Mexico during the project, it was found that the KSP project is not just the unilateral process but it is the interactive exchange of the knowledge which can be a foundation for economic cooperation. Henceforward, Mexico’s abundant resources and great potential for growth and Korea’s accumulated knowledge and experiences would bring great synergy effects. Now, I would like to express my gratitude to Dr. Young Chul Park, Dr. Man Soo Jeon, Dr. Soo Jin Kim, and Mr. Jang Hee Im for their passionate participation in KSP and their devotion to share Korea’s experiences of economic growth. Also I extend my deepest thanks to Dr. Young Duk Kim, former president of the Financial Supervisory Commission, for he provided great advices over the whole project process as a chief advisor. I appreciate the active cooperation of Mexican Agency for International Development Cooperation (AMEXCID) throughout the whole process. I cannot fail to thank Sung Hwa Hong Ambassador, and government officials and local consultants from State of Mexico, State of Queretaro, State of Hidalgo, and State of Chihuahua. In conclusion, I am deeply thankful to all those that have spared no efforts on the KSP project with Mexico and staff worker of KDI that have patiently helped with all details pertaining to the entire process of the project..

Malaysia Ph: + 603 8924 8261 / + 6016 6830871 E-mial: [email protected] Abstract: ‘Spatial proximity’ of firms is being increasing cultivated by governments in Asia with policies driving the development to ‘cluster’ firms. Based on Innovation Systems theory, this ‘clustering’ of firms is hoped to help increase interactions, not only among firms, but also of firms with other ‘institutions’ like universities, trade associations, government entities etc.. Which in turn would facilitate sharing of knowledge and increase capacity for localized learning by firms, and thus leading to innovation.. This paper analyses and compares innovations systems in four Asian clusters from Korea, Malaysia and India. The paper identifies leading entities, infrastructures and functional capacities for R&D within these clusters. Then the structural combinations and interrelationships of R&D producing entities such as university and national research institutions, R&D achievements delivering entities like techno-parks and related associations, and also R&D consuming entities such as corporations are also studied. The specific role of governments in these innovations systems is also investigated and lessons are drawn with implications for policy makers and industry. 1. Introduction The notion of clustering or regional development is increasingly being associated with global information resources, development of advanced skills, continuous innovation and diffusion of new technologies.
