Programs and Instruments for Promoting Innovation with Technology-Based Companies in Brazil

The need to stimulate technological entrepreneurship has been one of the biggest challenges faced in Science, Technology and Innovation Policies in Brazil. Therefore, the present research sought to carry out a comparative study of different programs and instruments to foster innovation for smaller companies coordinated by the Federal Government and operated through its Autarchies, Public Companies and Social Organizations. The following programs were used as research objects: (1) STARTUP BRAZIL; (2) STARTUP-INDUSTRY CONNECTION; (3) EMBRAPII – SEBRAE PROGRAM; (4) FINEP STARTUP; (5) STARTUP – INDUSTRY CONNECTION 4.0; (6) CONECTA STARTUP BRAZIL. We sought to investigate the following aspects: (1) proposed objectives; (2) profiles of targeted companies; (3) promotion frequency; (4) available financial resources; (5) fostering technological cooperation with STIs, and (6) mobilization of actors from innovation ecosystem. The research’s results demonstrated that there were upgrades in strategies to foster innovation. New programs started to establish new rules with the purpose of stimulating and/or conditioning partnerships’ formation among companies and institutions present in the innovation ecosystem

DO PROALCOOL AO BICOMBUSTIVEL: A SAGA DE UM SETOR

Historically the sugarcane industry has always been present in the Brazilian economic growth process since the colonial period. The regulatory framework of greatest impact comes in the mid-1970s with the PROALCOOL, compared to an emerging energy crisis. Since then the sector goes through periods of great expansion with investments, tax incentives and on the other hand by moments of disinterest of the government itself that somehow, provided this advance. In this sense the sugarcane industry has always occupied a prominent position. According to UNICA - Industry Union of sugar cane in 2012 the sector generated an annual revenue of USD 36 billion, 1.15 million formal jobs with 401 plants around the country. It represented 15.7% of the Brazilian energy matrix. Globally, according to REN 21 - Renewables 2015 Global Status Report, in 2014 Brazil holds the second position with a global production of 27 billion liters (28%) falling below of the United States with 54 billion liters (58 %) in a market that has produced 94 billion liters. This article will use the multivariate analysis method considering the production of ethanol in the period, automobile and dependent variables, presenting considerations and points of vulnerability, even with the momentum of the automotive sector.Historicamente o setor sucroenergético sempre esteve presente no processo de crescimento econômico brasileiro desde o período colonial. O marco regulatório de maior impacto surge em meados da década de 1970 com o PROALCOOL, frente a uma crise energética emergente. Desde então o setor passa por períodos de grande expansão com investimentos, incentivos fiscais e em contrapartida por momentos de desinteresse do próprio governo que de certa forma, proporcionou este avanço. Neste sentido o setor sucroenergético sempre ocupou posição de destaque. Segundo a ÚNICA ”“ União da Industria de Cana-de-açúcar em 2012 o setor gerou uma receita anual de USD 36 bilhões, 1,15 milhões postos de trabalho formais com 401 usinas em todo o pais. Representou 15,7 % da matriz energética brasileira. Em termos mundiais, segundo o REN 21 ”“ Renewables 2015 Global Status Report, em 2014 o Brasil mantem a segunda colocação com uma produção mundial de 27 bilhões de litros (28%) ficando abaixo dos Estados Unidos da América com 54 bilhões de litros (58%) em um mercado que produziu 94 bilhões de litros. O presente artigo utilizará a metodologia de análise multivariada considerando a produção de etanol no período, de automóveis e de variáveis dependentes, apresentando as considerações e pontos de vulnerabilidade, mesmo com o impulso do segmento automobilístico
