Ulsan TP conducted 93 R&D projects this year including electric vehicles, commercialization of core materials for secondary batteries, cultivation of science parks, energy industry, academic-industrial partnership and development of technology for nuclear reactor equipment.
When it comes to eight electric vehicle-related projects, Ulsan TP applied for 12 patents, generated 40 jobs and manufactured eight trial products.
For commercialization of core materials for secondary batteries, it has built a battery-related cluster, conducts R&D on cathode and anode materials and electrolyte. In the energy sector, it engages in commercialization of green technology using waste gases including hydrogen and carbon dioxide and establishment of a hydrogen town.
In addition, Ulsan TP started to support technology for nuclear reactor equipment this year to lay the technological groundwork for the Southeast Asia.
The academic-industrial partnership project, led by Ulsan TP, increased Ulsan's total R&D investment to 452.2 billion won in 2010 from 372.1 billion won in 2005 and the number of research centers to 242 in 2010 from 123 in 2005.
