S,T&I: a matter of State

S,T&I policy focused on four strategic lines new regulation for innovation new instruments and mechanisms for financing R&D increased federal funds for S,T&I greater dialogue with states, main municipalities, scientific and enterprises associations and society in general improvement and expansion of existing S,T&I programs and creation of new ones



Conclusions

• in the next few years, innovation law and fiscal incentive law should change the innovation environment in Brazil and intensify R&D at enterprises

• governmental programs have increased their support

• it is necessary to make information on the governmental programs and incentives reach enterprises, in special small and medium size enterprises, and encourage them towards innovation
