ABSTRACTThe influenza virus affects around 10% of world population every year, causing huge casualties. The Instituto Butantan and Sanofi-Pasteur signed a tech transfer contract in order to enable the Braziliain institute to produce the influenza vaccine. The geographical origin of the biotechnological infrastructure and raw materials demanded in the vaccine production process at Instituto Butantan was investigated and the technological independence level in this production development partnership (PDP) was evaluated. An inventory of the production process elements was prepared and the data was grouped in function of: objects, manufactures and application. Thematic maps were used to show the spatial pattern of the participating countries. The results highlight that 13 countries are responsible for a total of 200 objects, within these 200 objects were found 63 manufactures and 66 applications. Brazil contributes with 42,5% of the objects, 36,5% of the manufactures and 22,7% of the applications. Among the others countries involved USA and Europe, specially Germany and Switzerland, have a remarkable participation.
