3 Promote Innovation to Raise Productivity and Competitiveness Strong development of scientific activity Important evolution on numbers of Masters & PhDs. New policies and institutions dedicated to science and innovation. Innovation policy is part of the social and economic agenda. However, companies are not clearly in the spotlight and technology development is weak. Investment in technology is still low and there are only a few innovative companies. Dialogue between Universities and Enterprises is still difficult. There is a lack of human resources, particularly, in engineering. Poor seed and venture capital market

4 To A speed FINEP up the transition to more knowledge intensive economy, Brazil needs to grow faster in S, T & I Brazil Te echnological Mastery 3.Established connections. Main determinant of growth is the scientific and technological capacity 1. Small scientific infrastructure unable to feed technology producing Scientific areas 2. Science can determine part of the technology production but does not generate effect on scientific production Source: Ipea/Cedeplar, 2009

Brazil economic = develop public policies for fostering innovation. After Measuring the effort on technological innovation / statistics every three years. Focus on R&D expenditure, R&D dynamic and strategy within firms, factors that influence the innovative behavior of firms, incentives, barriers and outcomes of innovation. Relevant growth on the amount of innovative firms ( ) Innovative firms: higher output, productivity and salary, better skilled workers, export more and are able to compete world wide. Reported factors that obstruct firms innovation: high risk and cost, rigid firm organization, lack of skilled personnal, short technology and market data, low opportunities for open innovation, standard rules, low consumers perception to innovative products, lack of technical services.
