Anprotec<br />
Anprotec has made an analysis <strong>and</strong> overview <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> technology parks. This portfolio <strong>of</strong> <strong>Brazil</strong>ian<br />
technology parks was developed in <strong>the</strong> context <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> work done by <strong>the</strong> National Association <strong>of</strong> Science<br />
Parks <strong>and</strong> Business Incubators (ANPROTEC, Associação Nacional de Entidades Promotoras de<br />
Empreendimentos Inovadores), over <strong>the</strong> past five years to organize <strong>and</strong> streng<strong>the</strong>n this important<br />
mechanism for promoting innovative environments for <strong>the</strong> creation <strong>of</strong> technology companies <strong>and</strong> o<strong>the</strong>r<br />
research <strong>and</strong> development initiatives. Recently, Anprotec concluded <strong>the</strong> work "<strong>Brazil</strong>ian technology<br />
parks-study, analysis <strong>and</strong> propositions", run in partnership with <strong>the</strong> <strong>Brazil</strong>ian Agency for Industrial<br />
Development (ABDI), <strong>and</strong> with support from <strong>the</strong> Ministry <strong>of</strong> science <strong>and</strong> technology (MCT), Ministry <strong>of</strong><br />
development, industry <strong>and</strong> foreign trade (MDIC), Financiadora de Estudos e Projetos (FINEP), Banco<br />
Nacional de Desenvolvimento Econômico e Social (BNDES), Center for Strategic Studies <strong>and</strong><br />
Management (CGEE) <strong>and</strong> <strong>Brazil</strong>ian service <strong>of</strong> support to Micro <strong>and</strong> small enterprises (SEBRAE). This work<br />
allowed <strong>the</strong> analysis <strong>of</strong> various national <strong>and</strong> international experiences, allowing <strong>the</strong> generation <strong>of</strong> a<br />
taxonomic proposal for <strong>the</strong> area, as well as <strong>the</strong> forwarding <strong>of</strong> propositions <strong>of</strong> elements <strong>of</strong> public policy<br />
to support Technological Parks in <strong>Brazil</strong>. Throughout this process it became apparent <strong>the</strong> importance <strong>of</strong><br />
a more up-to-date <strong>and</strong> accurate survey that contributes to public <strong>and</strong> private actors can underst<strong>and</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />
scale <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> challenges <strong>and</strong> opportunities to consolidate technological parks as relevant instruments for<br />
economic, social <strong>and</strong> technological developments in <strong>the</strong> country.<br />
