Transferência internacional de tecnologia em parques tecnológicos brasileiros: um estudo exploratório sobre a relevância do investimento externo direto

Abstract

Technology Parks are internationally recognized as environments that promote technologies and innovations and play an important role in the interaction of different actors, such as governments, universities and companies, including international ones. Given this, seek to analyze the International Technology Transfer channels used by consolidated Parks in Brazil to map, in an exploratory manner, how these environments are transferring technologies and interacting with international actors, such as companies, universities and other parks. Based on the TIT literature, we sought to evaluate the existence of FDI and international R&D partnerships in each Park in the sample. For this, reports, documents and materials from the parks, ANPROTEC, VIA and MCTI were used. Additional sources included analyzed articles, books, newspaper articles and news. We will be able to see at the end of the research that all parks transferred technologies internationally, but in different ways and at different levels. Heterogeneity is a characteristic of innovation ecosystems, however, a trend is seen among consolidated parks in the use of channels that involve international R&D partnerships and interaction with foreign companies.
