Abstract

COSTA, Aldenilson. Innovation and territory in Brazil: the urban-regional profile of the economic innovation subsidy between 2010-2019. Econ. soc. territ [online]. 2024, vol.24, n.75, e1842.  Epub Feb 18, 2025. ISSN 2448-6183.  https://doi.org/10.22136/est20241842.

The role of innovation in the territory justifies strategies implemented to stimulate innovative activity, especially from public investments. Our objective is to analyze the urban-regional profile of economic subsidized innovation projects contracted by the Financiadora de Estudos e Projetos (Finep) between 2010 and 2019. The result obtained through descriptive statistics highlights the unequal distribution of businesses throughout the territory, reinforcing the concentration of companies from medium-sized cities and metropolises in the Southeast and Southern regions. It also highlights the fragility of government strategies unable to break with this spatial profile.

Keywords : innovation; economic grant; concentrated region; regional inequality.
