Innovation in Local Productive Arrangements, thank you EU!


The European Union is promoting a seminar in Brazilian's capital, Brasilia, where the goal of improving the regional development of Brazil by introducing the concept of Local Productive Arrangements (or APL in Portuguese). Many public institutions have to be involved to standardise the communication between political groups/parties and the companies involved. The EU will help teaching the Brazilian politician the best ways to increment productivity through innovation. This is the second stage of the project "Incentives for Innovation in Local Productive Arrangements" and is the first great step for enriching poor regions that never had the necessary support and where the local councils never knew what to do to improve this situation. (Sounds like it is going to take a long time to cover all wholes...)

Governamental organs involved:
  • Standing Working Group (GTP)
  • Ministry of Development, Industry and Foreign Trade (MDIC)
  • Ministry of Integration (MI)
  • Ministry of Planning, Budget and Management (PBM)
  • Ministry of Science and Technology (MCT)
