GOVERNANÇA DO ECOSSISTEMA DO MARANHÃO

A governança do Ecossistema de Inovação do Estado do Maranhão é impulsionada por diversas iniciativas, programas e atores, com o objetivo de fortalecer a conexão e o desenvolvimento científico, tecnológico e de empreendedorismo inovador no estado.

Principais Elementos e Iniciativas:

Programa Inova Maranhão: Coordenado pela Secretaria de Estado da Ciência, Tecnologia e Inovação (SECTI), este programa tem um eixo focado no Ecossistema, visando:

Construção de um ecossistema conectado e unido.

Fomento a parcerias, fortalecimento de comunidades e aproximação de atores.

Iniciativas como o Inova Talks (aproximação Mercado, Governo e Universidades) e Papo de Cientista (divulgação da produção acadêmica).

Mapeamento do Ecossistema de Inovação: A SECTI realiza um mapeamento para identificar atores (startups, universidades, centros de pesquisa, hubs, etc.) e fortalecer as conexões em todo o estado. Este mapeamento visa dar visibilidade às iniciativas e facilitar o acesso a oportunidades e parcerias.

Comitês de Governança em Inovação: Existem esforços para a criação de Comitês de Governança em cidades como São Luís, reforçando a articulação institucional em ciência e tecnologia.

Parque Tecnológico Renato Archer: Há planos e metas para a criação da governança e realização das primeiras ações do Parque Tecnológico, com a posse de um comitê gestor.

Apoio a Startups: O Programa de Incubação de Startups Inova Maranhão (PISIM), executado em parceria com a Fundação de Amparo à Pesquisa e ao Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico do Maranhão (FAPEMA), oferece incubação e mentorias, com a apresentação da governança do programa em eventos de boas-vindas.

Adesão a Programas Federais: O Maranhão, através da FAPEMA, adere a programas do Governo Federal para harmonizar metodologias e indicadores científicos, buscando uma visão mais integrada e estratégica do cenário nacional.

Atores Locais (Exemplo Imperatriz): Em outras regiões do estado, como Imperatriz, há a estruturação de Ecossistemas Locais de Inovação com a participação de Sebrae, instituições de ensino, associações e empreendedores, definindo eixos prioritários (como agro, TI e biotecnologia) e consolidando o mapa de atores.

Em resumo, a governança do ecossistema maranhense é um trabalho multiator e multinível, envolvendo o Governo do Estado (SECTI, FAPEMA), Universidades (UFMA), setor privado, Sebrae e as próprias comunidades de inovação e startups, com foco em estruturação, conexão e fomento a projetos inovadores.

Maranhão’s Innovation Ecosystem

Maranhão’s innovation ecosystem is developing and has been driven primarily by the state government, through the State Secretariat of Science, Technology and Innovation (SECTI), and its main program, Inova Maranhão.

Here are the key points:

Inova Maranhão Program: This is the largest public program to stimulate innovation in the state. Its “Ecosystem” axis aims to build a more connected network, fostering partnerships, strengthening communities, and bringing together stakeholders (Government, Market, Universities, and Society).

It includes initiatives such as: Inova Talks (bringing together the Market, Government, and Universities) and the startup incubation program (Inova Maranhão Startup Incubation Program – PISIM).

Ecosystem Mapping: SECTI is conducting the “Mapping of the Innovation Ecosystem of Maranhão” to identify, organize, give visibility to, and promote the strengthening of initiatives such as startups, universities, research centers, innovation hubs, schools, mentors, and other strategic agents.

Infrastructure and Legal Frameworks:

Renato Archer Technological Park: Maranhão was approved in a FINEP (Financing Agency for Studies and Projects) call for proposals for the implementation of this Technological Park, which is seen as a historical milestone for scientific and technological development in the state.

Maranhão Innovation Law (State Law No. 11,733): Established a solid legal framework to encourage Science, Technology, and Innovation, favoring the activities of the future Technological Park.

Support for Research and Entrepreneurship:

FAPEMA (Foundation for Research and Scientific and Technological Development of Maranhão): Has expanded investments and launched important calls for proposals such as Tecnova III and Maranhão 2050 to support research and innovation projects.

Centelha Program: Maranhão participates in this national program that supports entrepreneurs with training and resources to transform innovative ideas into businesses.

Other Actors: The ecosystem also includes the participation of institutions such as Sebrae-MA (with programs like Startup Nordeste and Desafio Sebrae Like a Boss), universities (such as UEMA and UFMA), and private companies (such as Equatorial Energia, which inaugurated a space focused on innovation and technology in São Luís).

The state is committed to consolidating itself as a growing innovation hub in Brazil, focusing on areas such as nanotechnology, photonics, advanced materials, and agribusiness, food, logistics, and biotechnology. GOVERNANCE OF THE MARANHÃO ECOSYSTEM

The governance of the Innovation Ecosystem of the State of Maranhão is driven by various initiatives, programs, and actors, with the objective of strengthening the connection and development of scientific, technological, and innovative entrepreneurship in the state.

Main Elements and Initiatives:

Inova Maranhão Program: Coordinated by the State Secretariat of Science, Technology and Innovation (SECTI), this program has a focus on the Ecosystem, aiming at:

Fostering partnerships, strengthening communities, and bringing actors closer together.

Initiatives such as Inova Talks (bringing together the Market, Government, and Universities) and Papo de Cientista (dissemination of academic production).

Mapping the Innovation Ecosystem: SECTI conducts a mapping to identify actors (startups, universities, research centers, hubs, etc.) and strengthen connections throughout the state. This mapping aims to give visibility to initiatives and facilitate access to opportunities and partnerships.

Innovation Governance Committees: There are efforts to create Governance Committees in cities like São Luís, reinforcing institutional articulation in science and technology.

Renato Archer Technological Park: There are plans and goals for the creation of governance and the implementation of the first actions of the Technological Park, with the establishment of a management committee.

Participation in Federal Programs: Maranhão, through FAPEMA, participates in Federal Government programs to harmonize scientific methodologies and indicators, seeking a more integrated and strategic vision of the national scenario.

Local Actors (Example: Imperatriz): In other regions of the state, such as Imperatriz, there is the structuring of Local Innovation Ecosystems with the participation of Sebrae (Brazilian Micro and Small Business Support Service), educational institutions, associations, and entrepreneurs, defining priority areas (such as agriculture, IT, and biotechnology) and consolidating the map of actors.

In short, the governance of the Maranhão ecosystem is a multi-actor and multi-level effort, involving the State Government (SECTI, FAPEMA), Universities (UFMA), the private sector, Sebrae, and the communities themselves.and innovation and startups, focusing on structuring, connecting and promoting innovative projects.
