A política de inovação no Brasil: uma análise comparada

Abstract

The dynamics of innovation have increasingly gained global importance over the years, becoming a key competitive advantage for nations. Innovation not only boosts the efficiency and productivity of companies but also transforms and creates new consumption habits and standards. In this context, the existence of a well-structured National Innovation System (NIS) is essential for achieving more advanced stages of economic and social development, which in turn facilitates better integration into global trade. This paper aims to analyze the evolution of innovation policies in Brazil to understand the formation of its NIS. Additionally, it explores how innovation systems have developed in countries that are considered international benchmarks in this area. By comparing Brazil’s experience with that of leading countries, the study identifies both similarities and differences. The objective is to provide strategic insights that can support the improvement of Brazil’s development policies and help explain the country’s delay in advancing its innovation activities.
