In this work, depending on the country-specific response strategy, we would like to summarize the following results: First, the U.S. is expected to select technologies such as the Internet of Things and robotics as R&D investments and strengthen government support through DMDII programs. Second, Japan plans to strengthen links such as establishing an industrial-academic platform and expanding support for venture start-ups through the spread of IP management and specify IP strategies of universities and research institutes. Third, China's main task for the construction of the national science and technology innovation system is to strengthen the capabilities of the corporate innovation entity, play the role of India, a national science and technology research institute, and establish the foundation of the high-tech industry. Fourth, Germany supports smart factory optimization, stabilization, cyber-attacks, product and service of promisingtechnologies,andprovidinginnovativeideasforsmallandmedium-sizedcompanies.
