MESSAGE FROM THE DIRECTOR OF ENTREPRENEURSHIP.


Dear entrepreneurs and context challengers.
Allow me to address you through these short words of motivation in the form of a vision.
The dynamics of development of the world economy has been strongly influenced by the consolidation of a new technical-economic paradigm, where the globalisation of the economy leads the productive sector to a growing effort in search of competitiveness.
The innovation-competitiveness binomial, in this context, constitutes a fundamental element for the modernization of the national production park, with a view to expanding its participation in the national and international trade of goods and services.
Technological innovation - understood here as the transformation of knowledge into products, processes and services that can be placed on the market, becomes increasingly important for the socio-economic development of the most diverse countries, which recognize that to improve and expand their industrial and export structures, carefully formulated measures are necessary to stimulate science and technology activities that are articulated with the demands of the productive sector.
Among the mechanisms and institutional/business arrangements that enable the transformation of knowledge into products, processes and services, Entrepreneurship stands out, a context where knowledge, efficiency and speed in the innovation process become recognized as decisive elements for the competitiveness of economies.
All this to say that the development of management and technological capacity, training, the concept and facilitation of life for entrepreneurs and the creation of opportunities will be our bets, through strategic policies that meet the creation of an entrepreneurial and business culture together with our internal and external partners, but with an entrepreneurial spirit, we are sure to be resilient and overcome the goal.
TOGETHER WE WILL GET THERE.
