O financiamento às atividades inovativas na indústria nas regiões brasileiras

Abstract

Innovation emerged in the early days of humanity as an important factor for evolution and according to Schumpeter it represents creating something new or improving. In actualidad it is fundamental for the productivity, growth and development of a country. In this sense, this work seeks to compare the structure of investments and financing carried out in innovation in industry between regions based on Pintec 2014 and 2017 data, through a methodology with a quantitative approach and a descriptive method. The results found indicate that the innovative activity with the largest investments, refers to the acquisition of machinery and equipment and are allocated mainly in the South and Southeast regions, the main sources of innovation of Brazilian companies are their own resources and the federal government and the greater degrees of innovation refer to the acquisition of machinery and equipment, especially by the manufacturing industry. The main contribution of this study was to present how funding for innovation is being allocated in the context of Brazilian regions and states, evidencing a situation of inequality in the distribution of these resources.
