Abstract

The article analyzes a relevant Brazilian experience related to an attempt to articulate a “systemic” approach of the innovation policy with a social inclusive perspective. This experience involves the support offered to the production of health inputs, goods and services, articulating instruments of industrial and innovation policy with instruments and objectives of the health policy, which builds on the concept of “Health Industrial Complex” (HIC). The article also presents evidences about the increase of local innovative capabilities in the pharmaceutical sector, extracted from the Brazilian Innovation Survey (PINTEC-IBGE), which partially reflect the impact of those policies.
