Korea ministry to localise general-purpose research equipment with high import reliance
South Korea\'s Ministry of Science and ICT said it created a general-purpose equipment panel under the Advanced Innovation Equipment Alliance and held its first meeting. The panel will seek items used across research institutions priced below 100 million won where foreign products dominate and domestic replacements are feasible within 2 to 3 years. An analysis found several instruments had 100 percent foreign share, while others also showed high overseas dependence.
