Tecnologia e Inovações (MCTI)
government
The Brazilian Ministry of Science, Technology, and Innovation (MCTI) is a federal government body that promotes scientific research, technological development, and innovation. Through programs such as the National Fund for Scientific and Technological Development (FNDCT), it provides grants, subsidies, and equity investments to innovative companies, particularly deep-tech and science-based startups in Brazil. The ministry focuses on early-stage to growth-stage ventures in sectors like biotechnology, clean energy, and information technology, and it operates as a government investor rather than a traditional venture capital fund.
