Retomada do Apoio à Indústria de Semicondutores no Brasil nos anos 2000 e do Desenvolvimento do Sistema Nacional de Inovação de Microeletrônica

Abstract

This essay examines the support´s resumption to the semiconductor industry and the development of the national system of innovation in microelectronics. It is shown that there is an understanding of the current government to support in a systematic way this segment, from incentives to strengthen innovation activities of major companies, research institutions and universities. As theoretical basis it was considered the interpretation adopted by neo-schumpeterian theory and the concept of the innovation system in the process of development and economic growth. Considering industrial policies implemented in Brazil during the 2000s, it was intended to identify the main short-term effects on the systemic activities of microelectronics, as well as the prospects of growth trajectory of this sector in the country. The analysis of the situation of the electronic complex´s trade balance was taken emphasizing the high structural deficit by which the country is going through. Moreover, it is possible to check the data analysis Pintec for the years 2005, 2008 and 2011, showing the evolution of innovation activities in the segment. Finally, a field survey was conducted, from which we analyzed the developmental stage of the innovation system of microelectronics, based on the perception of the members of this system.
