Created in 1981 following the merger of three research establishments which existed separately in their own fields (communication, electricity and electronics), the Electronics and Telecommunications Research Institute - ETRI's mission is to develop the fundamental technologies of the future in the fields of information, telecommunications, electronics and more generally in the multidisciplinary fields contributing to the country's growth and the influence of Korean technologies internationally.
ETRI is dedicated to both fundamental research (artificial intelligence, new creative technologies, etc.) and applied research, particularly on applications of artificial intelligence in the fields of urbanisation, transport, well-being, the environment, civil security and defence. It files an average of over 3,000 patents per year. ETRI is traditionally the place where prototypes are developed, adopted and implemented by local industry.
