Technological development of the Western Amazon

Abstract

The Amazon Informatics Law derives from a National Law, but is specific to the northern region, except for Tocantis and Pará states and, in partnership with the Zona Franca de Desenvolvimento - ZFM (Development Free Zone) project regulated by the Superintendência da Zona Franca de Manaus - SUFRAMA (Superintendence of the Manaus Free Zone), it aims to be a public policy to promote social development. It was questioned how the process of execution of this Law works and what would be the impacts resulting from its execution. The objective of this research is to know the process of execution of Research and Development - R&D projects based on the Amazon Informatics Law. For this understanding, a descriptive and documentary research was done to understand the current situation of R&D in the Western Amazon, and through an interview and case study, it was possible to understand and delineate the process itself.
