Innovation and human capital in Brazil: challenges and achievements Cláudio Marinho Northeast Brazil Business Mission to India Mumbai November 20, 2008
“ India is an immensely diverse country with many distinct pursuits, vastly disparate convictions, widely divergent customs and a veritable feast of viewpoints.” Amartya Sen,  The Argumentative Indian , 2006
 
People  (culture, history, geography) matter: the process of  value  creation of the  place.  The world is  not   flat .

Human capital : the Brazilian challenges
 
 
Brazil: Ministry of Education From 1909 through 2002, the Brazilian Government has built 140 technical schools. From 2002 to 2010, the Ministry of Education is investing more than US$ 400 million in the construction of  354 new technical schools for 500,000 students.
Brazil: National Industry Confederation In the period 2008-2010, the Brazilian industrial association, in cooperation with the Ministry of Education, will offer  16,2 million  new opportunities for education in the  basic, professional and technological  levels.
Brazil: National Commerce Confederation In the period 2008-2010, the Brazilian commercial association, in cooperation with the Ministry of Education, will offer  9,1 million  new opportunities for education in the  basic, professional and technological  levels.
The  sweet  spots
 
 
 
In my view, Brazil’s international challenge....  ...is how to deal with the Chinese  crowding-out effect  on the world resources... ...and with the way the  BRIC economies  will evolve in the near future.
