• Until World War II Brazil had a very small number of scientists and little institutional base for research
• Industry was very incipient, mostly in traditional sectors,
and controlled by TNCs (FDI or just technology importation)
• National Research Council (CNPq) and CAPES created in 1951
• Graduate programs and full-time faculty positions established only in the 1960s• In the 1970s CNPq, CAPES and FINEP (FNDCT) strongly supported the build up of the institutional base for S&T

• First experiments date back to 1925
• Proálcool (1975): bioethanol blended in gasoline (25%)
• Flex-fuel engines (petrol, bioethanol or mix) introduced in 2003
• 90% of the new cars manufactured today
• Total bioethanol today equals the amount of gasoline

Social-Economic Policies are paying off
Action Plan 2007-2010Science, Technology and Innovation for National Development
HOWEVER, S,T&I have not been decisive engines for the
development of Brazil. Some reasons:
• Scientific community relatively small and little
experienced until the 1980s
• Lack of R&D and innovation culture in industry
• Lack of continuity in S&T policies and funding
• No cross talk between industrial and S,T&I policies
Difficulties of S,T&I system

Action Plan 2007-2010Science, Technology and Innovation for National Development
Complex combination of:
•equity modes (establishing wholly-owned subsidiaries
and joint ventures)
•Various non-equity modes (international
subcontracting, licensing, franchising, management
contracts etc.)
Strategic alliances with local companies for joint R&D or
product development, marketing arrangements etc.
Role played by TNCs in Brazil

Strategic Priorities
I. Expand and Consolidate the National S,T&I System: Expand, integrate, modernize and consolidate the National Science,
Technology and Innovation System
II. Promote Technological Innovation in Enterprises: Boost promotion actions to create a favourable environment for innovation in
enterprises and strengthen Brazil’s Industrial, Technological and Trade Policy
III. R,D&I in Strategic Areas: Strengthen research and innovation in areas of strategic importance to
Brazil’s sovereignty
IV. S,T&I for Social Development: Promote and strengthen science in schools, including the dissemination of
technologies aimed at social inclusion and development

WHAT SIBRATEC IS
SIBRATEC is one of the main instruments used by Brazilian Government to integrate the scientific and technological community and innovative enterprises.
Instituted by Decree nº 6,259, of November 20th 2007, SIBRATEC integrates the Action Plan on Science, Technology and Innovation for National Development (PACTI).
Sets financing actions to create a favorable environment to technological innovation in enterprises.

HOW IT WORKS
OBJECTIVE ORGANIZATION GOVERNANCE
To provide conditions to enterprises to increase their current levels of innovation. It means
higher aggregated value to enterprises results,
more productivity, more competitiveness and a
greater insertion of Brazil in the global market.
Organized in three types of networks, named components:
• Innovation Centers
• Technological Services
•Technology Extension
Managed nationwide by:
• Management Committee
• Three Technical Committees
• Executive Secretariat
• Executive Agency
Each SIBRATEC network is managed by a Coordination Committee, integrated by networks integrants.

Action Plan 2007-2010Science, Technology and Innovation for National Development
• Brazil has today a S,T&I system important and competitive on a
world scale, although with a relative lack of R&D and Innovation
culture in industry and enterprises in general;
• As in many other fields which span the relations between foreign
countries and Brazil, we are here to offer and seek a strategic
partnership in science, technology and innovation;
• These areas for collaboration are many and varied. The number
should be as large as we could afford an all efforts to enhance our
capacity for deepening the strategic vision of our relations in S,T&I;
What we expect from Foreign Cooperation
