Technology & Innovation: Cooperation, licensing and technology transfer in Brazil, Germany and Russia

Technology and innovation rank at the top of Brazil’s policy agenda nowadays.

Not by chance, most Brazilian companies operating in Germany focus in technology intensive industries such as software, electronics and automotive.

President Dilma Rousseff and Russian Prime Minister Medvedev recently announced a technology transfer agreement between Brazil and Russia in the energy and defence sector.
