Resumo

Purpose – This study aims to analyze the innovation overview of the Brazilian industrial sector using data
published by innovation survey – PINTEC. The aim was to provide a macro and updated diagnosis of the
innovation scenario in Brazil and build reflections for further studies.
Design/methodology/approach – The authors used information from the years 1998–2014 covered by
PINTEC to analyze innovation indicators, namely, innovation types, problems and obstacles, novelty degree,
established partnerships and interactions, as well as governmental incentives. This study is exploratory; thus,
descriptive methods were used for data presentation through analyses and presented through figures and
tables.
Findings – The results show that innovation of the Brazilian industrial sector is concentrated mainly in the
acquisition of machinery and equipment, innovations that already exist in national or global markets,
interactions for the innovation process with suppliers and governmental support for financing machinery and
equipment acquisitions.
Originality/value – This study has relevance, as its results provide important subsidies for policy-makers
to incorporate the needs and overcome challenges of innovation in Brazil.
