| Abstract: | In the 1990s, attempts at knowlede-based economic development were seen in many municipalities and regions in Brazil, as new mechanisms for industrial resurgence. From these initiatives arose a set of policies to be implemented in a city, metropolitan area or region, for the support and promotion of scientific and technological activities and support for setting up technology-based companies by universities and research centres, which can be interpreted as a "technopole" program. This article is concerned with the analysis of a technopole program established in Petrópolis, a city located in the state of Rio de Janeiro, in Brazil, its genesis, development and networking activities and its impact on regional innovation and economic growth. |
