Nature has always shaped the history of human civilization.

We continue to ask questions and advance forward.

With all the answers already embedded in nature, together with new digital technology, we will discover the solutions to a new future.


[Title] Toward The Best Research Institute for Natural Products


KIST Gangneung Institute of Natural Products, established in Gangneung, Gangwon province in 2003, leads innovations and demonstrates the highest level of technology transfer performance in Korea. With highly accumulated research capabilities and technical knowledge in the field of natural products, we strive to contribute to regional and national development.


Specifically, by building an AI-based platform for the development of natural food and pharmaceuticals

[Title] SMART / AI-based platform for development of food and pharmaceuticals


And developing material from wild plant native to Gangwon province to fight retinal diseases such as age-related macular degeneration

[Title] INNOVATION / Natural materials found in nature for retinal health


And propose a solution to obesity for people of northern Canada

[Title] GLOBAL / SOS from 9,500km across the Pacific Ocean


We are one step closer to realize a vision of ‘Bringing happiness with natural products’.


In addition, with efforts to revitalize the local economy by starting businesses through investment in technology,

[Title] Setting up researchers / commercialization of functional materials using marine microalgae


The Institute of Natural Products, by acting as a tow truck, has developed not only Gangwon province, but also the entire natural food industry in Korea.
