EMBRAPII:A New Model of Fostering

Industrial Innovation in Brazil October 10th, 2019

Carlos Eduardo Pereira – Director of Operations

Is Brazil Ready for Innovation ?

Present conditions for innovation in Brazil

• Scientific production x technological

development;

• Lack of R&D centers in Brazilian

industries;

• Low private investment in R&D;

• Low level of technological innovation ;

• Need of a new funding model for R&D;

• Reach up to 2% of the GDP in R&D

• In contrast: seven decades of investment in human resources

qualification and research infrastructure , young talent and national

and international companies

EMBRAPII’s goals:

• Support companies in the development of innovative

products and technologies that increase competitiveness in

national and international markets

• Focus on industrial demands

• Offers flexible and agile cooperation model

• Share risks of investing in innovation

• Increase private investment in innovation
