Brazilian Microelectronics Sector Dynamization: Technology Strengthening and Sustainable Development on Production Chains

The aim of this paper is to assert management mechanisms to support government policies of science technology and innovation, contributing to the identification, planning, and coordination of short, middle and long term integrated actions involving the government, academy and industry in the national ecosystem of microelectronics in Brazil. Given the current context of Brazilian industrial policies, as well as the National Strategy towards Science, Technology and Innovation planned for the 2012-2015 period, this study presents coordinated actions with a triple helix focus towards a greater technologic density and the sustainable development of the value chains of the electronic industry, focusing on microelectronics. Specifically, the paper addresses a public program called National Micro and Nanoelectronic Systems Institute (INCT NAMITEC), a Brazilian multi-institutional research network created in 2008 by the Science, Technology and Innovation Ministry.
