Summary Document of the
Action Plan in S,T&I 2007-2010
can be downloaded from

www.mct.gov.br
Main advances from 2003 to 2009

 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
Thank you
