Briefings

The Brazilian government announced a second round of the 'Mais Inovação Brasil' call, allocating R$ 450 million in non-reimbursable funding to 114 innovative projects across the North, Northeast, and Central-West regions. This initiative, led by Finep, aims to support micro and small enterprises while reducing regional technological disparities, with a total initial budget originally set at R$ 300 million before an additional R$ 150 million was added. The funding distribution is strictly regional, with R$ 50 million for the North, R$ 100 million for the Central-West, and R$ 150 million for the Northeast. The project focuses on risk technology and innovation, targeting 75% of approved projects as micro or small enterprises.

Key points

• The 'Mais Inovação Brasil' call allocates R$ 450 million in non-reimbursable funding to 114 innovative projects across the North, Northeast, and Central-West regions.
• The initial budget was R$ 300 million, increased by R$ 150 million to R$ 450 million, with distribution strictly by region: R$ 50M for the North, R$ 100M for the Central-West, and R$ 150M for the Northeast.

Context

This funding initiative is part of Finep's broader strategy to reduce regional technological disparities and share technological development risks with local companies. It complements other Finep initiatives, such as the sustainable mobility call, and aims to transform research into technology through innovation.

Limitations

The evidence covers only the second round of the 'Mais Inovação Brasil' call, with no data on prior rounds or total cumulative funding. The initial budget of R$ 300 million is noted as a prediction, not a confirmed final amount. The evidence does not specify the exact number of successful projects or the specific technologies being funded, only that they are innovative and risk-based.
