Prof. Myung-Hwan Cho of the Division of Biological Sciences, College of Biological Science & Biotechnology, Konkuk University (KU), delivered a keynote lecture during Sept. 11-13, 2014, at the International Triple Helix Conference hosted by the Association of Russian Entrepreneurial Universities in Tomsk, Russia.
At the conference, government officials, entrepreneurs, and scholars convened to search knowledge-based economic development measures through science and technology.
The Corporate Helix Model suggested by Prof. Cho explains that economic growth should be carried out through a national economic system in which three components - institutions of higher education, industries, and the government - take part. Placed at the center of this model is the need of an entrepreneurial university.
Prof. Cho's model has been garnering attention from around the world as a knowledge-based model of economic development for developing countries, as it presents the possibility of establishing entrepreneurial universities in the developing world. As a top AIDS researcher, Prof. Cho is also Adjunct Professor of American Government at University of Maryland University College.
