Brazil highlights innovation in technology and the environment.

Brazil strengthens technological innovation with a focus on environmental and agricultural aspects.

Over the past 72 hours, Brazil has gained prominence in events and initiatives that combine technology, innovation, and sustainability, reflecting the strategic role of science in the country's economic and environmental development.

Investments and policies for science and technology

The Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovation (MCTI) announced investments of R$ 200 million to accelerate research and development, with an emphasis on artificial intelligence, data science and innovation, especially in regions with socioeconomic inequalities. Minister Luciana Santos highlighted the importance of technology for environmental preservation and the bioeconomy, reinforcing Brazil's commitment at COP30 to zero out the degradation of biomes by 2030.

Agricultural innovation at Agritechnica 2025

At Agritechnica 2025, Europe's largest agricultural technology fair, taking place in Hanover until November 15th, nine Brazilian companies are showcasing advanced solutions for agribusiness. Among them is the SaveFarm® system, which uses artificial intelligence to identify weeds and apply selective spraying, reducing herbicide use by up to 95%. The event brings together more than 430,000 visitors from 130 countries, solidifying Brazil's position as a global leader in agricultural technology.

Business challenges and tax automation

A recent survey revealed that 671% of Brazilian companies still do not use automated tools to validate tax documents, which could compromise their adaptation to the current tax reform. Only 11.5% have already automated this process, while 32.7% have not yet begun the adaptation. This lack of preparation can cause billing blockages and affect cash flow, highlighting the urgent need for investments in technology for tax compliance.

Events and advances in naval technology

Salvador hosted ARAMUSS-2025, a pioneering event that tested unmanned maritime systems, open to the public and focused on naval innovation. This initiative demonstrates Brazil's advancement in technology applied to maritime defense and monitoring, expanding the national capacity for managing environmental and strategic risks.

Impacts and perspectives

These recent developments show that technology in Brazil is increasingly integrated with environmental and economic objectives, focusing on sustainability, automation, and innovation. Public investment and participation in international events indicate a strengthening of the country's position in the global science and technology landscape, especially in strategic sectors such as agriculture, the environment, and defense.
