Transcript of INPE: Space and Environment R&D for Brazil in the 21 st Century.
Brazil: a natural knowledge economy?
Brazil´s innovation system is in large part built upon its natural and environmental resources, endowments and assets.
Deforestation cut by 300% (2005-09)
46% of energy is renewable
Brazil: a natural knowledge economy Best technology in
biofuels
World leader in tropical agriculture

Space technology adds value to Brazil´s natural knowledge economy
Megacities
A Vision for INPE in the 21st Century
INPE will be a world-class centre in Space and Environment R&D for the tropical region
Brazil will be an environmental power and the first developed nation in the tropics

A visionary of the Brazilian space program...
“We want to build an intellectual elite at the highest level, capable of breaking Brazil's dependence on foreign technology. We need people with knowledge and ideas on how to develop Brazil, who are quick to grasp the future paths of science, and who are conscious of their role in major government decisions”.
Dr. Fernando Mendonça (INPE´s founder)
