국가 12대 전략기술 및 50대 세부기술 분야에서의 건설산업 대응 전략 수립을 위한 현황 조사 및 추진 방향 연구 = Current Status Survey and Strategic Direction Research for the Construction Industry Response Strategy Establishment to The National 12 Strategic Technologies and 50 Detailed Technologies Fields

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The construction industry faces structural challenges such as low productivity, digital transformation delay, and rapidly increasing costs amid rapid global and domestic changes, including the advent of the AI era, post-COVID-19 protectionism, and deglobalization. Public views to the construction industry are still not as a high-tech sector but as the industry in need of change. However, the realization of national strategic technologies such as semiconductor, data center, small modular reactors (SMR), urban air mobility (UAM) and aerospace sectors require state-of-the-art infrastructure to support and attract renewed attentions for the construction industry’s strategic value.
This study aims to identify how the construction industry can support the realization of national strategic technologies by analyzing international and domestic policy trends, infrastructure requirements, and case studies by sector. It focuses on the technological, institutional, and industrial gaps that limit the construction industry’s scalability as a strategic enabler, deriving policy recommendations to address these constraints.The results present four key strategic approaches for strengthening the industry’s role: (1) securing core construction technologies by R&D, (2) reforming institutions and policies, (3) strengthening industry-academia-research collaboration, and (4) fostering a field demand-driven and high value-added infrastructure market. Through these strategies, the construction industry is expected to enhance its role as a foundational sector for realizing national strategic technologies and contribute as a key pillar of the future technological ecosystem.
