Abstract
This paper presents a case of strategic technology development in Brazil, analyzed under the framework of open innovation. Here examined, the aerospace sector is an area of high technology which has strategic importance to this country. By analyzing this specific development program as a case study, a network with links between public and private institutions was identified. Specific issues such as business aspects, funding, intellectual property, technological trends, and coordination of the group of firms and institutions at the interorganizational level are discussed and alternatives for the network are proposed. Main results indicate that there is a network, and the open innovation approach may help to increase awareness of and help clarify intellectual property issues. The analysis revealed this may be a significant bottleneck, along with funding issues and scarcity of qualified human resources.References
