University-Industry relations in
Brazil
A number of successful cases of interaction*:
1. Health sciences (IOC, Butantan)
2. Agricultural sciences (IAC, Embrapa)
3. Mining, metallurgy (UFMG)
4. Aeronautic engineering (CTA, ITA)
5. Geosciences, oil and gas (COPPE-UFRJ,
Unicamp)

University-Industry relations in
Brazil
Challenge: to broaden the types of
University-Industry interaction and
increase the number of successful cases
(Partial) response: State funded schemes
to promote U-I interaction

Research for Technological
Innovation PITE – The Partnership for Technological
Innovation Program– Research projects developed in partnership with R&D
institutions in the State of São Paulo and businesses located in Brazil and abroad
ERCs – Engineering Research Centers– Research program addressing medium and long term
challenges of high scientific and technological impacts
PIPE – The Research for Technological Innovationin Small Businesses Program– Research projects developed by researchers in small
companies

Partnership for Technological
Innovation (PITE)
Cooperative R&D
– University/Research Institutes - Industry
– Fapesp funds (non refundable) - 20 to 70%
– Industry funds the complement
PITE Proposals
– Industry-University demand (since 1995)
– Joint calls Fapesp-Industry (since 2006)

Initiated in 1997
Two phases
Up to R$ 1,200,000 per project, non refundable funding
Requirements for the PI related to experience and competence in the area of the project, not to formal degree
PI must be an employee of the SB (research carried out within the firm)
Research for Technological
Innovation (PIPE)

PIPE also increases U-I interaction– Universities act as consultants to PIPE companies’
projects
– Many PIPE companies are spin-offs from universities

How to do more to increase U-I
interaction?
State funded schemes are important – the
example of Fapesp is remarkable – but
they are not enough
Low level of business R&D expenditure in
Brazil (higher in the State of SP) is a
limitation that needs to be addressed
