Regarding policies for production transformation, the Estratégia Brasil 2050 outlines a long-term development vision to address key structural challenges, such as climate adaptation and technological transformation. The strategy is supported by comprehensive sectoral plans, including Nova Indústria Brasil (NIB) and the National Plan for Energetic Transition (PNTE). NIB 2024-2033 provides a concrete action plan to strengthen the competitiveness, sustainability and innovation capacity of Brazilian industry, offering financial and technical tools to advance decarbonisation and digitalisation. PNTE 2024-2034 focuses on reshaping the energy matrix by expanding renewable energy sources and developing green hydrogen hubs. In parallel, the Programa de Aceleração do Crescimento (PAC) seeks to drive economic growth through investments in physical and digital infrastructure for production transformation. Further relevant policy frameworks include the Política Nacional de Desenvolvimento Regional, which encourages value addition and economic diversification across Brazil’s regions, and the Estratégia Nacional de Bioeconomia, which promotes sustainable development through the responsible use of biodiversity.
Regarding public financing mechanisms for productive transformation, the NIB launched the Plano Mais Produção, introducing a range of financial instruments for businesses, backed by USD 50 billion in funding for the period 2024-2026. These instruments include both direct and indirect financing for the acquisition of technological equipment, the expansion of research and development projects, and technical support for digitalisation, mainly provided through the Banco Nacional de Desenvolvimento. The bank offers programmes to support micro, small and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs) and promote sustainability and modernisation, including subsidised loans, credit lines, grants for innovation and fiscal incentives. In parallel, the PAC has earmarked more than USD 250 billion for infrastructure investments, with a focus on green projects and digital inclusion. The Fundo Nacional de Desenvolvimento Industrial e Tecnológico, established in 2025, supports strategic industrial, scientific and technological projects in Brazil through grants and low-interest loans. Finally, public innovation agencies such as Financiadora de Estudos e Projetos and Empresa Brasileira de Pesquisa e Inovação Industrial continue to provide technical and financial support to companies, offering capacity building, subsidised credit and non-reimbursable funding for innovative initiatives.
In terms of international partnerships for production transformation, Brazil has established financial co‑operation with the Climate Investment Funds, a global initiative supporting low-carbon transitions in developing countries. Among 26 countries, Brazil was chosen to implement a USD 230 million industrial plan focused on developing low-carbon technologies. At the 2024 United Nations Climate Change Conference, Brazil and the United Kingdom launched a strategic partnership through the Industrial Decarbonisation Hub to support industrial policy and promote knowledge exchange. Other key initiatives include the Partnership for the New Industrial Revolution with the BRICS forum of emerging economies and co‑operation with Canada’s National Research Council and Chinese public agencies to enhance MSME competitiveness. In 2023, Brazil signed a co‑operation agreement with the German Brazilian Chamber of Commerce and Industry to promote research in bioeconomy and green technology.
