The following is an excerpt from a Global Research Report by Thomson Reuters, discussing Brazil's involvement as an emerging economic player in research, labeled a BRIC country, by some (Brazil, Russia, India, China)
To hear the excerpt, presented by the editor of Doing Business In..., The Global Business Professor, please click on the image below.
Brazil is an increasingly important and competitive research economy. Its research workforce capacity and R&D investment are expanding rapidly, offering many new possibilities in a diversifying research portfolio. It has received much less policy attention than China, however, and the research base in Latin America, in general, is unfamiliar to many in Europe and Asia.
The report shows that Brazil’s output has doubled in ten years prior to 2007, part of a long-term trend of growth that far exceeds established G7 economies. Relative to the rest of the world, Brazil has exceptional capacity in biology-based disciplines and research related to natural resources.
Brazil’s main international partners are led by G7 economies with very large research bases of their own. It also has excellent and fast growing links with Portugal, and appears to be a key player in an emerging regional network. The organizations which underpin this collaborative web are internationally excellent in their own countries.
