The Korean Association for Photonics Industry Development was established(KAPID) on May 13, 2000 to develop the photonics industry, and cultivate and promote its related industries.

Korean government also nominated the photonics industry as a strategic industry in the 21st century and has scheduled to provide extensive investments in Gwangju for the photonics industry.

The Plans are being progressed systematically for nurturing Gwangju city as the integrated complex of Korean Photonics Industry. With the active support from the government, KAPID was established as an industrial association which is going to do active business in international exchange programs on technology, cooperative projects, domestic and overseas promotional activities and research and development on behalf
of member companies and the industry.

And also provide information about world photonics market trends through Photonics Information Center completed during the photonics development project phase I and attract other photonics enterprises into the photonics cluster in Gwangju.

We will help stimulate a demand for LED products by using the LED sign, lighting system as our business model and make agreements for the exchange of technology and human resource institutes, associations and integrated industrial complexes in advanced countries in photonics.
