In an increasingly competitive society, universities and business cannot help losing competitiveness without the talented and creative new technology. To face this challenge, industry, academy, and institutes need to work together in a solid and proactive cooperation system.

Industry-Academic Cooperation Foundation at the University of Incheon, founded in 2004, has been making great and steady efforts to establish research support and a management system to fulfill the needs of th times. It has also been earnestly carrying out social responsibilities and roles in the process of technological innovation. It has actually invited a variety of national policy centers and industry-academy agreements as well as supported plenty of research projects for faculty members.

Incheon has been growing at the heart of Northeast Asia. The University of Incheon, a national university, has been gathering its energies to become a world-leading on on its new campus in Incheon Economic Free Zone. As the heart of the university, the Foundation has a strong willingness to contribute to the growth of regional and national industry. I look forward to your continuing interest and cooperation for the prosperity of the Foundation.
