RESUMO

RESUMO O artigo procura analisar o papel do Estado no estímulo à atividade de inovação nos EUA e na Alemanha. Argumenta-se que os governos nesses países exercem papel ativo na inovação, porém cada qual atua com diferentes objetivos e instrumentos para estimular e induzir atividade de inovação nas empresas. São analisados alguns casos específicos de políticas de fomento à inovação em cada país a fim de demonstrar a atuação do poder público em contextos distintos. Conclui-se que a política de inovação é flexível e adaptável a cada contexto, porém o papel ativo do Estado se destaca em ambos os países.ABSTRACT The present study analyzed the role of the State in fostering innovation in the USA and Germany. It was argued that governments in these countries play an active role in innovation, but each one operates with dissimilar objectives and tools, to stimulate and induce innovation activity in companies. Some specific cases of innovation policies in each country were analyzed to demonstrate the performance of the public power in different contexts. It was concluded that innovation policy is flexible and adaptable to each context, but the active role of the State stands out in both countries.
