We all know that innovation is vital to Brazil's economic and social development, but we know that taking this risk in such uncertain times is quite difficult. Knowing this, we created this guide that brings the opportunities currently available to companies of all sizes, and our purpose is that entrepreneurs seek to innovate using these incentives, which in practice translate into more attractive financial conditions for the realization of innovative projects." declares Thiago.
