“…Cecere et al (2020) demonstrate that SMEs with access to public funds and finance are persistently engaged in eco-innovation. Mina et al (2021) describe the lack of financing as a big barrier to the innovative growth of SMEs. Aiello et al (2020) claimed that SMEs cannot be innovative unless they use their internal finances for new and innovative activities.…”

For this research, we examined the influence of access to domestic and international financing on sustainability performance with a mediating role of innovative performance and a moderating role of access to government support. Data were collected from 317 small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) through structured questionnaires. The results indicated that access to domestic and international financing significantly contributes to sustainability and innovative performances. Accordingly, we found a partial mediating role of innovative performance between access to domestic financing and sustainability performance as well as between access to international financing and sustainability performance. Access to government support significantly moderates the relationship between access to domestic finances and innovative performance as well as between access to international finances and innovative performance. Practitioners and policymakers should encourage national and international financial institutions and banks to facilitate SMEs by lending them funds for innovative activities and sustainability performance. Moreover, the government should support SMEs, so that they can contribute to economic growth and the gross domestic product. The implications from these matters will be further discussed in this paper.

“…A primeira etapa refere-se ao levantamento da literatura sobre a SE. Para composição desse levantamento foram utilizados os estudos publicados em periódicos internacionais e nacionais sobre o tema (CHEN;WANG;CHEN, 2018;MIN;KIM;SAWNG, 2020;MINA et al 2021). Considerando que a SE à inovação no Brasil possui menos de 20 anos, para este caso, utilizou-se consulta ao Banco de Dissertações e Teses da Capes, uma vez que em geral, as pesquisas nessa temática são oriundas dos trabalhos desenvolvidos no âmbito dos programas de pós-graduação e de pesquisadores de instituições de fomento.…”

“…Nos Estados Unidos as pesquisas que analisam o SBIR geralmente destacam os impactos do programa sobre a produtividade das empresas e a comercialização dos produtos LINK, 2015;SCOTT, 2010). Mina et al (2021) ao investigarem o programa europeu, SME Instrument, pontuaram diferenças entre a capacidade de apoio às empresas entre Europa e EUA. Uma delas faz referência ao apoio mais forte ao empreendedorismo com volume elevado de recursos para o desenvolvimento de inovações disruptivas, como é o caso do programa SBIR.…”
Os investimentos em Pesquisa e Desenvolvimento (P&D) são fundamentais para a prosperidade econômica de um país, uma vez que proporcionam o acesso à fronteira do conhecimento, ao desenvolvimento e a comercialização de produtos, entre outros. Com a finalidade de ampliar a competitividade das empresas nacionais, o Brasil lançou, a partir de 2004, um aparato institucional e financeiro de apoio à inovação, sendo instituída nesse contexto, a subvenção econômica (SE) à inovação, isto é, o aporte público de recursos não reembolsáveis diretamente nas empresas para o desenvolvimento de atividades inovadoras. A instituição responsável pela SE no Brasil é a Financiadora de Estudos e Projetos (Finep), que conta com a parceria dos governos estaduais, geralmente por meio das Fundações de Amparo à Pesquisa (FAP´s), para que o programa alcance maior capilaridade no território nacional. O objetivo geral deste artigo é propor uma agenda que auxilie as FAP´s nos procedimentos de planejamento, execução e conclusão de projetos apoiados.
“…We use lagged observable characteristics, except for country location, industry classification, and firm age, to avoid endogeneity between treatment assignment and changes in firm characteristics (Boeing, 2016). This set of observable variables reflects the characteristics of firms applying for the European program as well as the eligibility criteria for obtaining one of the two phases of the program (Mina et al, 2020). This program's main goal is to support radical ideas and the technological capabilities of start-ups and small firms.…”
