1. Reason for Amendment
   Based on Article 11 of the Special Measures Act for Strengthening and Protecting the Competitiveness of National Key Strategic Industries (Strategic Technology Designation, Modification, and Deregistration), the newly designated candidate technologies, such as one in the robotics sector and one in the defense industry, are selected through the procedures required by the law. The aim is to designate these new technologies as national key strategic technologies, considering the impact on industrial supply chains, national and economic security, growth potential, technological difficulty, ripple effects on other industries, industrial significance, and their impact on the national economy such as exports and employment. The National Key Strategic Technology List (Appendix) will be revised accordingly.
   
   

2. Key Provisions

□ Revised National Key Strategic Technology List [Appendix]

• Through support systems based on the law, such as technological innovation, finance/tax systems, regulatory improvements, and talent development, two new technologies—one in the robotics sector and one in the defense sector—will be designated as national key strategic technologies to foster these industries and prevent potential economic damage from technology leakage.

□ Expansion of the National Key Strategic Technologies

• The current list, consisting of 17 technologies in 4 sectors, will be expanded to 19 technologies in 6 sectors.
