O sistema de inovação em energias renováveis no Brasil e sua relação com as empresas estrangeiras
This work addresses the relationship between foreign companies and the brazilian government regarding the issue of development, taking into account factors such as the growing awareness of the international community about the importance of energy and environmental issues in the world, the relevance of Brazil in the environmental agendas, its rich natural appropriations and their efforts to build conditions for sustainable development as crucial factors in attracting foreign capital to the renewable energy sector in the country. Greater emphasis was given to the brazilian northeast, not only for its favorable conditions for the development of activities related to these energy sources, but also prominent role account that the region gained in the development policies of the brazilian government. A long time foreign companies operating in brazilian soil, but apparently did not contribute substantially to a development that breaks with old economic and social structures. This leads us to wonder whether foreign investment could effectively stimulate development, more specifically, it could facilitate the construction of an innovation system that would allow Brazil insert itself successfully in the "knowledge economy", thus decreasing their distance in relation to the technological frontier. So, this study made use of theoretical tools, especially on the innovation system and public policy, in order to understand the role of foreign companies in Brazil, especially in the renewable energy sector. Thus, in order to identify the influences of public policies and foreign companies in the formation of an Innovation System in Renewable Energy, we obtained as main result the need to adopt a specific policy for the renewable energy sector that goes beyond a material infrastructure.
