`ETRI will help the realization
`of a ‘smart world’ where people,
`technology, and the environment are
`interconnected to create a more
`abundant, convenient, and safe life.
`
`ETRI will open a new era of hope
`and happiness for all people
`through Creative science
`and Technologies.
`
`Since its establishment in 1976, ETRI, a global ICT research institute, has been putting forth immense efforts
`to provide Korea with remarkable growth in the field of ICT. By unceasingly developing the world’s first and
`best technologies, ETRI has helped Korea become one of the top ICT nations globally.
`
`Korea, once a veritable wasteland of science and technology, became a leader in ICT through indomitable
`will and a challenging spirit. In the 1980s, a one-phone-per-house era, which brought significant changes
`to the everyday lives of Koreans, was realized through the development of TDX(Time Division Exchange), a
`fully digital electronic switching system. Korea soon started to dominate the world’s semiconductor industry
`through the successful development of 4M DRAM. During the 1990s, ETRI once again astonished the world
`by commercializing CDMA for the first time. In the 2000s, ETRI developed Terrestrial DMB, WiBro, and 4G
`LTE Advanced, which became the foundation of mobile communications.
`
`Recently, as a national ICT leader, ETRI has been advancing communication and convergence by developing
`SAN Technology (cutting-edge ICT technology converging with shipbuilding), world class portable automatic
`interpretation technology (Korean/English, Korean/Japanese, Korea/Chinese), automated valet parking
`technology, and adjustable display technologies such as transparent displays.
`
`Building on its past success, ETRI continues to dedicate its utmost efforts R&D to maintain its place
`among the world’s best research institutes leading the creative economy. Additionally, with this vision, ICT
`Innovator, Creating the Future, ETRI will continuously strive to develop creative and innovative technologies
`to be responsible for the world’s ICT industry beyond Korea by creating innovative research achievements,
`securing global IP competitiveness, and establishing an advanced world-class management system.
`
`ETRI will help the realization of a ‘Smart World’ where people, technology, and the environment are
`interconnected to provide greater abundance, convenience, and safety to all of humanity. ETRI will open a
`new era of hope and happiness for all people through Creative Science and Technologies.
