Outline
• Innovation in Brazil
• Programs and Fiscal Incentives
• Intellectual Property
• Challenges to strengthen relationships between academia
and industry
• Leveraging Brazil-Ireland ties
• Relatively large scientific system (> 2% of global
output)
• Modest technological development (e.g. ~ 0.2% of
patents)
• Truly competitive only in oil in deep waters, mid-
size airplane industry, agribusiness
Innovation is a priority in Brazil
Large trade deficit in mid- to high-tech

Policies for Technological Innovation
Science, Technology and Innovation for a competitive Brazil R.M Faria et al., 2011 (Diagnosis and Roadmap)
Many universities and research centers have established innovation agencies
Goals:
• Assist inventors and researchers in filing patents, seeking industrial partners• Establish innovation and tech transfer policies • Connect teaching and research to entrepreneurship• Seek sustainable socioeconomic development
Innovation Agencies

• Law for informatics – ineffective in promoting R&D.• Good Law – positive, but modest results

Intellectual Property in Brazil
• Possible submission up to one year after publishing invention (results and ideas)
• Invention must be disclosed 18 months after submission
• Granted for 20 years
Inventions, materials, software, living beings, etc, that
are not patentable or protected follow the same
paradigms adopted internationally

Patents
Brazil-Ireland Scientific Cooperation
Joint Papers Citation count 27.7 per paper
Source: Web of Science
Leveraging Brazil-Ireland ties
• Growing bi-lateral scientific cooperation
• Global companies operating in Ireland and Brazil
• Establish connection between SMEs and academia bi-laterally
• Services Industry – leverage Irish experience with large number of graduates in Brazil in all
areas(e.g. Software and Big Data-related
applications)
Opportunities
University-industry Partnerships
