Need to educate more & better; Little and not diversified financing (FINEP/BNDES/FAP’s); Bureaucracy (150 days in Brazil x 3 days in Australia); Tight fiscal policy (38% of GDP); Lack on infrastructure and logistics. Obstacles to innovation
Increase in number of companies that innovate and differentiate their products; Increase in the quantity of patents (levels compatible to Brazilian participation in world GDP); Increase in cientifical and technological in the products, processes and services in Brazil, specially exports; Increase on national expenditures in Cience, Tecnology and Innovation – to reach 2% of GDP Increase in business investments – from 40% to 60% Increase in the GDP to 5% year Goals for Innovation
