[SIMTOS Monthly] Visit Online Matchmaking4U and Enjoy!
Visit Online Matchmaking4U and Enjoy!
-Renewal
Matchmaking4U-
Matching program that open on 1st Feb. 2016 is very popular to
not only exhibitors but also visitors. About 80% of exhibitors and more 2000
visitors completed registration for marketing information such as company name,
e-mail, phone, interesting products, main customers and etc to participate in
Matchmaking4U.
SIMTOS 2016 Matchmaking4U completed 1600 matching that is much more 1085
in SIMTOS 2014. 500 of them confirm the meeting in SIMTOS 2016. What is competitiveness
of Matchmaking4U? SIMTOS official secretariat said four differentiation.
First differentiation is effort to improve matching rate. Secretariat
researches marketing information such as industry, interesting products,
website, main customers and etc to exhibitors and visitors. The information is
needed when matching.
Second differentiation is to boost quality of meeting. They improve
quality of meeting by dividing interesting products(handling products) from two
steps to three steps. Visitors could meet exhibitors who are proper for them.
It’s possible to arrange the meeting with companies who want to meet
anytime because SIMTOS secretariat would keep running Matchmaking
program(b2b.simtos.org) after SIMTOS 2016 to develop oversea market and build
relationship between exhibitors and visitors. That’s third differentiation.
Forth differentiation is consideration for visitors. SIMTOS would provide
participants in Matchmaking4U with services like the meal and transportation
fee. Also oversea visitors who are invited from exhibitors could be offered
expense in case of more 3 times matchmaking.
SIMTOS plans to start scheduling to
success Matchmaking4U in March. Also they would build timetable for that
participants could manage meeting and confirm meeting time.

[Amazing Korea] S. Korea leads global R&D spending: OECD
S. Korea leads global R&D spending: OECD
South Korea boasts one of the world's leading infrastructures for science development, with its spending on research and development (R&D) far higher than those of other countries, a Paris-based organization for economic cooperation said Monday.
The country's expenditure on R&D came to 4.15 percent of its gross domestic product in 2013, hovering above its members' average of 2.4 percent, according to the OECD Science, Technology and Industry Scoreboard. It marked a two-fold growth from the 2.2 percent posted in 1995. The country spent 59 trillion won (US$52.7 billion) in conducting R&D activities in 2013, up 3.8 trillion won from a year earlier. The figure includes figures from both the public and private sectors.
Israel, meanwhile, was the top-slot country by spending 4.21 percent of its GDP on R&D over the cited period, it said. The OECD report added South Korea boasted leadership in 11 of top 20 fast-growing technology segments, or "disruptive technologies," including the human interface for digital data transfer, which allows users to activate devices through voice or other non-traditional methods. Other key achievements of South Korea included its patents in the IoT and big-data segments. The country accounted for 14.1 percent of the global patents in the fields over the 2010-2012 period, it said.
"Korea's lead is built upon strong education in science, technology, engineering and mathematics disciplines, with the highest percentage of tertiary graduates in natural sciences and engineering in the OECD area," the organization said.
The OECD, meanwhile, said South Korea still needs to make more efforts in improving the availability of the Internet for the elderly. While the organization estimated 80 percent of South Koreans were online on the back of the rising penetration of smartphones, the access to the Internet for those aged 55 and above hovered below the average of the OECD. The OECD also cited South Korea's creative economy policy as one of the significant global approaches to innovations.
The creative economy calls for merging various industry segments to generate new growth engines, which usually focus on utilizing the ICT for different segments.
The announcement came in line with the OECD Ministerial Meeting Daejeon 2015, World Science & Technology Forum that runs from Monday through Friday in Daejeon, a city packed with science institutes located 164 kilometers south of Seoul.

The Ministry of Science, ICT and Future Planning (MSIP) has decided to pursue testbed projects in the category of the Internet of Things (IoT) with a more than 100 billion won (US$90 million) investment. The MSIP announced that it held a meeting to report the initiation of IoT testbed projects at its global R&D center near Seoul on June 24. The projects are aimed to create results in the “creative economy,” as part of the three year plan for K-ICT strategy and economic innovation. IoT testbed projects are large-scale projects designed to lead the growth of the convergence market by fusing IoT infrastructure and technology in such core areas as autos, health care, energy, urban life, and factories, and to facilitate the development and earlier commercialization of new products and services. The government agency is going to start seven IoT testbed projects – two projects to build 2 testbed research complexes and five convergence testbed projects – with an investment of 108.5 billion won (US$97 million) over the next three years, including 33.7 billion won (US$30.4 million) in 2015.
4. Korean Tech Firms Bet Big on Smart Heath Care
Wednesday, June 10th, 2015
Korean tech firms including Samsung Electronics are ramping up efforts to take the lead in digital health care market by joining hands with medical centers.
However, the growth is still slow due to burdensome regulations and lack of infrastructure.
The Korea Health Industry Development Institute estimated that around 12 million people in their 20s to 60s used smart health care service last year in Korea, and the local market reached 3 trillion won. The global digital healthcare-related market is expected to surge to $26 billion by 2017, up from $2.5 billion in 2013, according to the latest report by the state-run Korea Institute for Industrial Economics & Trade.
Among Korean tech firms, Samsung Electronics is the most passionate in the digital health care market. Since the smartphone giant announced its “Vision 2020” in 2009, it has continued to concentrate on developing U-health care and medical devices. Last May, it announced “Samsung Digital Health Initiative” in San Francisco and unveiled SAMI (Samsung Architecture for Multimodal Interactions), an open data platform gathering and analyzing bio information and also launched Simband, a health tracking gadget.
Samsung said it would ramp up efforts on the research and development on analyzing health care data linked to SAMI and Simband in partnership with medical centers.
Samsung’s rival LG Electronics also unveiled its wearable heath care device LG Lifeband Touch, which is currently selling in the U.S. market. The new fitness band is a battery-powered smartwatch-type device that users wear around their wrist to monitor the number of calories they’re burning each day. It also rolled-out earphones measuring users’ heart rate while working out.
Korea’s telecom operators SKT, KT and LG Uplus are also boosting efforts to create revenue from the medical market by capitalizing on their ICT technical know-how. The nation’s two largest carriers SKT and KT already teamed up with Korea’s top hospitals, and created joint ventures Health Connect and Hooh Health Care respectively.
Health Connect is targeting business-to-consumer market based on its Health-On, a mobile-based health management service while Hooh Health is focusing on business-to-business such as integrated medical information system solution and e-MarketPlace.
Two companies haven’t shown any tangible performance last year but they plan to continue the research and development this year.
Korea’s third largest mobile carrier LG Uplus teamed up with Jaseng Hospital of Korean Medicine, the first time for the hospital of Korean medicine to partner with a telecom company. Two organizations are expected to unveil smart health care IoT solution for spine health this year.
Apart from tech firms, Korea’s large hospitals also joined the digital health care services. Some hospitals already unveiled mobile apps which let users make reservation and check results. Konkuk University Medical Center has run its smart U-health care system since 2010 and Seoul Paik Hospital made Health Avatar Beans, an app to manage blood dialysis, allowing patients to more efficiently manage their medical information.
However, some analysts say more relaxed regulations are necessary for the development of smart health care development. For the technologies and services centering on smart health care, there are too many rules and regulations, according to the Korea Health Industry Development Institute.
In South Korea, telemedicine is still illegal. The revision bill allowing telemedicine was sent to the National Assembly but never passed due to the strong opposition from doctors. One tech company developed telemedicine service for chronic diabetes patients for a decade, but it was disappeared on the market due to the lack of relevant laws and infrastructure.
The prohibition to make investment in hospitals is another factor, which drags the industry behind. “Though smart healthcare services such as telemedicine require a long-term investment and clinical demonstration, the development is not active due to the prohibition of investment,” a market observer said.
