Brasília, 10 (Agência Brasil - ABr) - The minister of Science and Technology, Ronaldo Sardenberg, spoke yesterday at the meeting of the Economic Committee to Latin America and Caribbean (ECLAC), in Brasília, on the productive policies and technology in the global era. He said that the companies that invest in research and development have obtained success and more opportunities of entry in the national and international markets. According to him, this is possible because of the economic stability in Brazil, besides the fiscal incentives laws, now available to the business sector. Such factors permit the increase of private investments in researches and partnerships between companies, universities and public research institutes.

Sardenberg emphasized that this movement improves the exchange of technological experiences and favours the reaching of solid benefits to economy and society. (WPS)
