The activities at CNPEM help strengthen the National Science, Technology, and Innovation System (SNCTI), and include close collaboration with various actors in the productive sector, which allows us to help solve complex problems and create innovative technical solutions that can be brought to market and benefit society. These collaborations with companies of different sizes in various sectors can take place through research, development, and innovation (R&D&I) projects, transfer of technologies and know-how developed by our researchers, and providing highly specialized services. These activities may be funded by the company itself and/or research agencies and support funds.
