This is good news.
From some shared experiences that I have discussed with others, innovation – particularly thinking outside the box – needs to be promoted by both the government and private sectors. This is not unique to Brazil but is part of the growth process of any sovereignty finding itself with new ‘muscle’ resulting from other sovereignties and foreign businesses wanting to be of assistance.
The support any entrepreneur, young or old, receives from his own country always goes a very long way in just how much innovation will be created.
