ABOUT SÃO PAULO
The State of São Paulo has one of the best Research and Development structures in Latin America, and has been attracting a growing number of companies due to the increasing importance of innovation as a decisive differential in the global market. Among the several factors that justify such attraction, it's worth highlighting the presence of several renowned universities that link higher education and internationally renowned laboratories and research centers that act in several areas of knowledge.
The State's Research and Development sector has been driven by heavy investments of private companies (approximately US$ 1.7 billion in domestic R&D activities in 2005) and significant investment of public funds (nearly US$ 1.8 million in 2007). A great part of such resources come from the Fundação de Amparo à Pesquisa do Estado de São Paulo - FAPESP (São Paulo Research Foundation), whose purpose is to promote the research, exchange and diffusion of the science and technology produced in São Paulo.
Among the actions aimed at the promotion of innovation, science and technology in the State it is worth pointing out the São Paulo System of Technological Parks - SPTec, instituted by the Secretaria de Desenvolvimento - SD (Secretariat of Development), to promote and stimulate the economic and technologic development in several regions, by the attraction of investments and generation of new knowledge-intensive companies.
