The Ministry of Science, ICT and Future Planning has presented a new five-year research and development strategy in the information and communication technology (ICT) field. 

The strategy was devised after more than four months of related discussion between around 120 ICT experts.

The experts suggested ten key technologies and 15 key services for the ministry to pursue under the mid-term plan. The ten key technologies cover areas such as hologram, big data and smart network. The 15 key services include disaster forecast services and digital business support for small businesses.

The ministry plans to draw up a final version of the plan within this month after gathering opinions at a public hearing.
