The possibility of the regional development strategy through regional R&D is reviewed with special reference to western GyeongNam Province. On the whole the level of regional industry in western GyeongNam Province is somewhat backward and the proportion of agrarian population is higher than the national average, though machine industry in Jinju city is a bit developed and Sacheon city is the center of space-aero industry in Korea. R&D manpower in this region is concentrated in Jinju and Sacheon city, especially at local universities. It is estimated that much of local industrial needs for R&D could be met with this region’s R&D capacities. For the strengthening of R&D capabilities of universities, the importance of leadership power in research units and whole university is emphasized.
