Title We want more open innovation
 
Creator Lopes, Mauricio Antonio
Monteiro, Solange
 
Description Since assuming the presidency of Embrapa in October 2012, agronomist Mauricio Antonio Lopes has been working to make the corporation less dependent on public funding. This year, with enactment in January of the new Legal Framework for Science, Technology and Innovation, Lopes plans to launch Embrapatec, which he expects to accelerate generation of businesses based on Embrapa’s knowledge assets and technology and attract more private resources for research. An Embrapa researcher since 1989 with a PhD in molecular biology from the University of Arizona, Lopes argues for expansion of genetic improvement programs to prevent plant diseases and for continuous gains in productivity of Brazilian agriculture. “Side by side with large producers, there are also poor, small, excluded agricultural producers where there is substantial room for efficient growth,” he says.
