Abstract

Despite the remarkable economic expression, the impressive internal market, and the diverse innovation incentive policies, such as the 2004 Innovation Law, Brazil’s National Innovation System (NIS) still has modest performance indicators. According to the 2019 Global Innovation Index report, the country is ranked 66th in the World Innovation Ranking. Based on documentary and bibliographic research, we seek to explain the reasons for the inefficiency of Brazil’s NIS. To inspire appropriate policies, successful examples are reported from countries that have progressed through innovation and recent efforts promoted by the Brazilian Army in this direction. Based on these studies, we present propositions to be considered in the definition of a holistic and long-term National Innovation Policy, capable of coordinating government actions directed towards this sector and promoting economic growth, development and assuring National Sovereignty.
