Abstract

This research discusses the historical evolution of investments in science and technology (S&T) in Brazil between 2004 and 2017. It is known that S&T can develop the economy, competitiveness and investment in a country. Therefore, the investments allocated in this regard are decisive for technological, productive and social evolution. Among 129 countries, Brazil is the 66th most innovative according to the Global Innovation Index (IGI) 2018. In 2019 the country lost two positions in relation to the previous year, in which it occupied the 64th place. Switzerland, Sweden, the United States, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom lead the ranking, demonstrating that countries that invest their GDP less than Brazil and are in positions well above the innovation ranking. It is from this importance that the research seeks to discuss the forms of investment and their values as a general objective. As a specific objective, it sought to study S&T policies aimed at the formation of innovation and academic production. The data related to financing were searched on the official websites of the financing agencies themselves, for a more comprehensive understanding of the theme, and the singularities of each agency
