Technology transfer in Brazil
Publication metadata
The definition of technology transfer varies depending on the context and on the approach. Taking a more entrepreneurial approach, technology transfer refers to the ways and means through which companies, individuals and organizations acquire technology or know-how from third parties, whether such technology is IPR-protected or not. In this sense, technology transfer plays a relevant role in the
growth of companies. It allows EU SMEs to find a way to exchange or acquire high quality research and cutting-edge technology with outstanding research organisations. In the same way, companies which have created new technologies may find in this transfer an opportunity to recover the investment made, gain a higher reputation, royalties or the chance to have an economic impact on the marketplace. Technology transfer also takes place via training and education. This is crucial for transfer of know-how. It includes training of university graduates, exchanges of qualified staff, joint research projects. This is as important as transfer via buying or licensing IP rights. Many Latin American countries have excellent research organisations, conducting high quality research which may be of interest to European SMEs. On the other hand, Latin American companies aiming to reach higher rates of productivity, reduce the technology gap or production costs often reach out to Europe to demand the latest technologies. In order to promote this high-tech exchange, technological cooperation between Europe and Latin America has intensified over the past years. The European Commission has stimulated cooperation through various initiatives, such as: opening up the participation of entities from Latin American countries in the EU’s Framework Programs for R&D (mainly FP6, FP7 and Horizon 2020); establishing Enterprise Europe Network Contact points in the region (in Brazil, Chile, and Mexico); and, last but not least, through the so called ‘Missions for Growth’. Between 2011 and 2017, the EC high-level representatives and EU industry representatives (including SMEs) visited several American countries (Chile, Brazil, Argentina, Uruguay, United States, Mexico, Colombia, Peru, Panama and Paraguay) to renew and ensure a strong political relation with the EU and to strengthen the cooperation in strategic fields, such as industrial innovation, raw materials, standards and market integration, SMEs, space, sustainable construction and tourism.
