Korea: IT to tide over economic crisis
In wake of the economic crisis, President Lee Myung-bak said the more difficulties they will face, the more investment the government should make in technology.
“Investment in future technologies is the basic solution to the current economic difficulties,” he said at a recent meeting with the country’s leading scientists and engineers at the Korea Hall of Science and Technology.
“Now is a golden chance for us to make a leap forward to become an advanced nation. Therefore, we should try to overcome the current crisis and make thorough preparations for the future that will come once the crisis is over,” added Lee.
He also asked the scientists and engineers to actively take part in nationwide efforts to overcome the economic crisis as soon as possible, and businesses to focus more on investing in research and development, which will enhance their global competitiveness.
About 800 people, including leading scientists and engineers, business leaders, and academics, attended the meeting hosted by the Korean Federation of Science and Technology Societies. At the meeting, the scientists and engineers pledged to lead the nationwide efforts to overcome the economic difficulties.
