Observadas como elos das rela??es entre universidade, empresa e governo, as funda??es de apoio emergem no cen?rio brasileiro a partir do pleito de estabelecer uma plataforma de desenvolvimento econ?mico baseada no trip?: ci?ncia, tecnologia e inova??o - CT&I. Em termos aplicados, essas operam como ferramentas de desburocratiza??o, tornando a gest?o dos entes p?blicos mais ?gil, sobretudo ? gest?o acad?mica em conformidade a abordagem da Tr?plice H?lice. Em face do exposto o presente estudo tem como objetivo compreender como as rela??es da Tr?plice H?lice interv?m no processo de capta??o de recursos das funda??es de apoio brasileiras. Para compreens?o das rela??es postas, utilizou-se os modelos de intera??o Universidade-Empresa-Governo preconizadas por S?bato e Botana (1968), a abordagem da Tr?plice H?lice disposta por Etzkowitz e Leydesdorff (2000), assim como a perspectiva dos sistemas nacionais de inova??o, discutida por Freeman (1987, 1995), Nelson (1990, 1993), e Lundvall (1992). O objeto de pesquisa deste estudo consta das 26 funda??es estaduais de amparo ? pesquisa associadas ao Conselho Nacional das Funda??es Estaduais de Amparo ? Pesquisa ? CONFAP, assim como as 102 funda??es de apoio ?s IES associadas ao Conselho Nacional das Funda??es de Apoio ?s Institui??es de Ensino Superior e de Pesquisa Cient?fica e Tecnol?gica ? CONFIES, totalizando 128 entidades. Como estrat?gia de pesquisa, este estudo se caracteriza como uma pesquisa aplicada, de abordagem quantitativa. Os dados prim?rios desta pesquisa foram coletados com o uso do procedimento e-mail Survey. Foram coletadas 75 observa??es, que correspondem ? 58,59% do universo de pesquisa. Cabe ponderar o uso do m?todo bootstrap com vistas a validar o uso da amostra nas an?lises de resultados. Para a an?lise dos dados foram utilizadas t?cnicas de estat?stica descritiva e de an?lises multivariadas de dados: a an?lise de conglomerados; a correla??o can?nica e a regress?o log?stica bin?ria. A partir das ra?zes can?nicas obtidas, os resultados indicaram que a rela??o de depend?ncia entre as vari?veis de rela??es (com os atores da Tr?plice H?lice) e os recursos financeiros investidos em projetos de inova??o ? baixa, admitindo a hip?tese nula deste estudo, que as rela??es da Tr?plice H?lice n?o t?m interferido positivamente ou negativamente na capta??o de recursos para investimentos em projetos de inova??o. Por outro lado, os resultados obtidos com a an?lise de conglomerados apontam que as entidades que possuem maiores quantitativos e montantes financeiros de projetos constam em sua maioria de funda??es de grande porte (mais de 100 funcion?rios), que apoiam at? cinco IES, publicam relat?rios de gest?o e utilizam em sua estrutura de capital, maior financiamento do setor p?blico. Por fim, ? pertinente destacar que o poder de classifica??o do modelo log?stico obtido neste estudo demonstrou alta capacidade preditiva (80,0%) facultando ? comunidade acad?mica replica??es em ambientes de an?lise similares. / Foundations support constitute one of the types of legal entities of private law forged with the purpose of supporting research projects, education and extension and institutional, scientific and technological development of Brazil. Observed as links of the relationship between company, university, and government, foundations supporting emerge in the Brazilian scene from the principle to establish an economic platform of development based on three pillars: science, technology and innovation ? ST&I. In applied terms, these ones operate as tools of debureaucratisation making the management between public entities more agile, especially in the academic management in accordance with the approach of Triple Helix. From the exposed, the present study has as purpose understanding how the relation of Triple Helix intervenes in the fund-raising process of Brazilian foundations support. To understand the relations submitted, it was used the interaction models University-Company-Government recommended by S?bato and Botana (1968), the approach of the Triple Helix proposed by Etzkowitz and Leydesdorff (2000), as well as the perspective of the national innovation systems discussed by Freeman (1987, 1995), Nelson (1990, 1993) and Lundvall (1992). The research object of this study consists of 26 state foundations that support research associated with the National Council of the State Foundations of Supporting Research - CONFAP, as well as the 102 foundations in support of IES associated with the National Council of Foundations of Support for Institutions of Higher Education and Scientific and Technological Research ? CONFIES, totaling 128 entities. As a research strategy, this study is considered as an applied research with a quantitative approach. Primary research data were collected using the e-mail Survey procedure. Seventy-five observations were collected, which corresponds to 58.59% of the research universe. It is considering the use of the bootstrap method in order to validate the use of the sample in the analysis of results. For data analysis, it was used descriptive statistics and multivariate data analysis techniques: the cluster analysis; the canonical correlation and the binary logistic regression. From the obtained canonical roots, the results indicated that the dependency relationship between the variables of relations (with the actors of the Triple Helix) and the financial resources invested in innovation projects is low, assuming the null hypothesis of this study, that the relations of the Triple Helix do not have interfered positively or negatively in raising funds for investments in innovation projects. On the other hand, the results obtained with the cluster analysis indicate that entities which have greater quantitative and financial amounts of projects are mostly large foundations (over 100 employees), which support up to five IES, publish management reports and use in their capital structure, greater financing of the public department. Finally, it is pertinent to note that the power of the classification of the logistic model obtained in this study showed high predictive capacity (80.0%) providing to the academic community replication in environments of similar analysis.

In order to reveal the relevance of the underlying correlations in the nucleotides distribution, we compare theresults for the genomic DNA sequence with those of arti_cial sequences (the long-range correlated Fibonacci and RudinShapiro one) and a random sequence, which is a kind of prototype of a short-range correlated system. The random sequence is presented here with the same _rst neighbors pair correlations of the human DNA sequence. We found that the long-range character of the correlations is important to the transmissivity spectra, although the I_V curves seem to be mostly inuenced by the short-range correlations. We also analyze in this work the electronic and thermal properties along an _-helix sequence obtained from an _3 peptide which has the uni-dimensional sequence (Leu-Glu-Thr- Leu-Ala-Lys-Ala)3. An ab initio quantum chemical calculation procedure is used to obtain the highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) as well as their charge transfer integrals, when the _-helix sequence forms two di_erent variants with (the so-called 5Q variant) and without (the 7Q variant) _brous assemblies that can be observed by transmission electron microscopy. The di_erence between the two structures is that the 5Q (7Q) structure have Ala ! Gln substitution at the 5th (7th) position, respectively. We estimate theoretically the density of states as well as the electronic transmission spectra for the peptides using a tight-binding Hamiltonian model together with the Dyson's equation. Besides, we solve the time dependent Schrodinger equation to compute the spread of an initially localized wave-packet. We also compute the localization length in the _nite _-helix segment and the quantum especi_c heat. Keeping in mind that _brous protein can be associated with diseases, the important di_erences observed in the present vi electronic transport studies encourage us to suggest this method as a molecular diagnostic tool / Nesta tese, investigamos a transmissividade e as caracter?sticas de corrente como fun??o da diferen?a de potencial, no contexto da liga??o forte, em seq??ncias de dupla fita do DNA. Com o intuito de investigar a relev?ncia das correla??es subjacentes nas distribui??es dos nucleot?deos, comparamos os resultados de uma seq??ncia gen?mica do DNA com duas seq??ncias artificiais (Fibonacci e Rudin-Shapiro, que apresentam correla??o de longo alcance) e uma seq??ncia aleat?ria, prot?tipo de sistemas de correla??o de curto alcance. A seq??ncia aleat?ria utilizada apresenta a mesma correla??o de pares de primeiros vizinhos que a seq??ncia do DNA humano. Observamos que a caracter?stica de correla??o de longo alcance ? importante para o espectro de transmissividade, apesar das curvas IXV serem mais influenciadas por correla??es de curto alcance. Neste trabalho, analisamos tamb?m as propriedades t?rmicas e eletr?nicas de uma seq?encia α-h?lice, obtida de um pept?deo α3, o qual apresenta a seguinte seq??ncia unidimensional (Leu-Glu-Thr-Leu-Ala-Lys-Ala)3 (estrutura prim?ria). C?lculos ab initio qu?nticos s?o utilizados para obter as energias dos orbitais moleculares mais altos (HOMO, highest occupied molecular orbital), bem como suas integrais de transfer?ncias de cargas quando a seq??ncia α-h?lice forma uma estrutura fibrosa (variante 5Q) e n?o fibrosa (variante 7Q), as quais podem ser observadas atrav?s de microscopia eletr?nica de transmiss?o. A diferen?a entre as duas estruturas ? que a estrutura 5Q (7Q) apresenta a substitui??o Ala → Gln na 5a (7a) posi??o, respectivamente. N?s estimamos, teoricamente, a densidade de estado bem como o espectro de transmiss?o eletr?nico dos pept?deos, utilizando um Hamiltoniano no formalismo da liga??o-forte juntamente com a equa??o de Dyson. Al?m disso, n?s resolvemos a equa??o de Schr?dinger dependente do tempo para obter o espalhamento de um pacote de onda inicialmente localizado. N?s calculamos tamb?m o comprimento de localiza??o e, por fim, o calor espec?fico qu?ntico. Vale lembrar que a forma??o de prote?nas fibrosas podem estar associadas ? doen?as, de forma que as importantes diferen?as observadas no estudo das propriedades eletr?nicas de transporte nos encorajam a sugerir este m?todo como uma ferramenta de diagn?stico molecular

The study aims to understand how the Triple Helix relationship interferes in the innovation process of shrimp in Rio Grande do Norte. As the knowledge becomes the resource key for production methods, the generation of new technologies, new products and processes which demands joint and integrated action of the institutions comprising the Triple Helix: University, Government and productive sector, which possess the essential resources to innovate the process and can be maximized from cooperative relationships between the referred Institutions. Thus, in this work, it was sharply used the pioneering studies of Sabato and Botana (1968) regarding the cooperation relationship between the scientific-technological sphere, the governmental and the productive base, and studies on the Triple Helix approach, proposed by Etzkowitz and Leydesdorff (2000), in which the university has a key role in the process of technological and innovative development of countries and regions, and under which it is assigned to the very University - the character of the entrepreneurial institution, through the concept of entrepreneurial University. Aiming to overcome the criticism of Cooke (2005), regarding the limitations of the Triple Helix approach, in this study it was used - as analytical perspectives - the perspective of social immersion (Granovetter, 1985, 2005) and the theory of resources dependence (PFEFFER; SALANCIK, 1978). The analytical perspectives presented in here, despite of the different assumptions, are essential to eliminate the bias that one only approach can lead (ASTLEY; VAN DE VEM; 2007). The authors arguments focus on the fact that the integration is possible if the researcher acknowledged that different perspectives may have different descriptions of the same phenomenon. As a research strategy, this study is characterized as a study case, along with the proposed objectives - the qualitative method was used as an approach and, depending on the gathering of the sector s historical, a sectional longitudinal view approach was applied (VIEIRA, 2004). The primary and secondary data were used in order to understand the sector s evolutionary process and its inter-institutional relations - regarding the shrimp culture in Rio Grande do Norte - to promote the development, as the content was used for the technical analysis (BARDIN, 1977). The approach of social immersion and resources addiction dependence made it possible to understand that relationships are established within and between each sphere (university, government and productive sector) characterizing a network of low density relationships and strongly internal and external dependence. Based on the speech of Etzkowitz and Mello (2006), a successful Triple Helix strategy of innovation requires not only the involvement and commitment of the parts, within the institutional sphere and among them, but also the development of mechanisms to coordinate the multiple and complex interactions and interfaces, focusing on promoting both environment and context for innovation and learning; it can be acknowledge from study results that the shrimp in the State of the RN, although there are several institutional mechanisms to promote greater integration and technological development, has been presented disjointed - both internally and between the spheres - and under no legitimate practice when facing the innovational promotion and integration institutions. Due to those factors, the central institutions of the network are crucial to the promotion of innovations, spreading through their direct contacts the importance factor of the sustainable competitive activity in the world market and on the national level. However, it may be concluded, from the data, that the Triple Helix relations are interfering in a negative way on what concerns the promotion of innovations in the shrimp industry in RN / Este trabalho consiste em um estudo no setor carcinicultor do Estado do Rio Grande do Norte, cuja quest?o central est? na compreens?o de como as rela??es inter-atores da Tr?plice H?lice (universidade, governo e setor produtivo) limitam ou ampliam o processo de inova??o no setor. O estudo tem como objetivo central compreender como as rela??es da Tr?plice H?lice interferem no processo de inova??o da carcinicultura norteriograndense. Na medida em que o conhecimento passa a ser o recurso essencial para os m?todos de produ??o, a gera??o de novas tecnologias, de novos produtos e novos processos demanda a a??o integrada e conjunta de atores que comp?em as esferas institucionais da Tr?plice H?lice: universidade, governo e setor produtivo; sob os quais residem os recursos essenciais para o processo de inova??o e podem ser maximizados a partir de rela??es cooperativas entre os atores. Para tanto, utilizou-se os estudos pioneiros de S?bato e Botana (1968) quanto a rela??o de coopera??o entre a esfera cient?fico-tecnol?gica, o governo e a base produtiva, e os estudos acerca da abordagem da Tr?plice H?lice, proposta por Etzkowitz e Leydesdorff (2000), na qual a universidade passa a ter um papel fundamental no processo do desenvolvimento tecnol?gico e inovativo de pa?ses e regi?es, e sob a qual lhe ? atribu?da o car?ter de institui??o empreendedora, atrav?s do conceito da universidade empreendedora. Como forma de superar as cr?ticas de Cooke (2005), quanto as limita??es da abordagem da Tr?plice H?lice, utilizou-se como perspectivas anal?ticas neste estudo a perspectiva da imers?o social (GRANOVETTER, 1985; 2005) e a teoria da depend?ncia de recursos (PFEFFER; SALANCIK, 1978). As perspectivas anal?ticas apresentadas neste estudo apesar de terem pressupostos diferentes s?o essenciais para que se possa eliminar os vieses que uma abordagem s? pode conduzir (ASTLEY; VAN DE VEM (2007). O argumento dos autores ? que a integra??o ? poss?vel se o pesquisador reconhecer que as diferentes perspectivas podem apresentar descri??es diferentes sobre um mesmo fen?meno. Como estrat?gia de pesquisa, este estudo se caracteriza como um estudo de caso, em conson?ncia com os objetivos propostos, utilizou-se como abordagem o m?todo qualitativo, e em fun??o do resgate dos marcos hist?rico do setor, utilizou-se uma abordagem seccional com perspectiva longitudinal (VIEIRA, 2004). Os dados prim?rios e secund?rios foram utilizados de forma a compreender o processo evolutivo do setor, bem como as rela??es inter-atores na carcinicultura do Rio Grande do Norte para a promo??o do desenvolvimento. Como t?cnica de an?lise, utilizou-se a de conte?do (BARDIN, 1977). A abordagem da Imers?o social e da Depend?ncia de Recursos permitiu compreender que as rela??es que se estabelecem dentro e entre cada esfera (universidade, governo e setor produtivo) caracterizam a rede com relacionamentos de baixa densidade e com uma forte rela??o de depend?ncia tanto internamente como externamente. Tomando por base o argumento de Mello e Etzkowitz (2006) de que o sucesso de uma estrat?gia de Tr?plice H?lice de inova??o necessita de envolvimento e compromisso dos atores dentro de cada esfera institucional e entre elas, como tamb?m do desenvolvimento de mecanismos para a coordena??o das m?ltiplas e complexas intera??es e interfaces para a promo??o de um ambiente e um contexto para a inova??o e aprendizagem, conclui-se a partir dos resultados apresentados que a carcinicultura do Estado do RN, apesar de possuir v?rios mecanismos institucionais para promover maior integra??o e o desenvolvimento tecnol?gico, tem se apresentado desarticulado tanto internamente quanto entre as esferas, e com pr?ticas nem sempre legitimadas perante atores por parte das institui??es de promo??o de inova??es e de integra??o. Dessa forma, os atores centrais da rede s?o cruciais para que a promo??o de inova??es, difundindo atrav?s dos contatos diretos a import?ncia do fator para a sustentabilidade competitiva da atividade no mercado mundial e nacional. Contudo, pode-se concluir a partir dos dados que as rela??es da Tr?plice H?lice vem interferindo de maneira negativa na promo??o de inova??es na carcinicultura do RN

Pesquisa do Estado do Rio Grande do Norte / Knowledge and innovation were seen as major forces, both for survival, as the acquisition of competitive advantages in the Brazilian economy, as well as adding value to the product as a market differentiator. The Triple Helix model is directed toward the knowledge-based economy. Over the past six years, the Federal Government through the Financier of Studies and Projects ( FINEP ) invested in technological innovation projects, economic subsidies, about U.S. $ 1 billion supporting more than 800 projects with these resources. According to the MCTI , the Northeast, over the years 2000 to 2010 increased spending on Science and Technology (considering the activities of research and development more scientific and related activities) of the State Government in relation to its total revenue In 2000, 0.51% of total revenues were invested in Science & Technology, while in 2010 this figure increased to 1.31%. Among the nine Northeast states, Para?ba is highlighted. In 2000, 0.33% of its total revenues were directed to innovation, reaching 2.04% in 2010, the largest increase in the region while the RN invested 0.24% in 2000 and in 2010 reached the level of 1.42 %. According to IBGE, in the period 2000-2011, the micro and small enterprises surpassed the barrier of 6 million establishments. In 2000, there were 4.2 million establishments while in 2011 were 6.3 million active establishments. Therefore, throughout the period, there was a creation of approximately 2.1 million new establishments. Between 2000 and 2011, micro and small businesses have created 7.0 million formal jobs, 8.6 million jobs in 2000 to 15.6 million in 2011. This scenario shows the importance of this study in relation to the investment of governments in RD & I in micro and small enterprises. This study aims to analyze the interaction Universities - Business - Government in the development of innovation in micro and small companies in Rio Grande do Norte participants of the edicts of Inova FAPERN. We chose to adopt as a research method case study concerning the procedure of the research, exploratory, descriptive, and on documents with engineers and researchers of innovation projects approved by PAPPE Subsidy (Inova -RN I, II and III). Data collection was done through the report made by FAPERN entitled: " Evaluation of companies financed and supported by the Grant Program for Technological Innovation for Micro and Small Enterprises RN - INOVA -RN " (2010) and a questionnaire with 40 closed questions and 1 opened to 30 affirmative composed based on a 5-point Likert scale. The analysis of data was qualitative and quantitative. The study provided to identify the importance and barriers arising from the relation between Government Enterprise (micro and small) and University as essential to the economic development of the region. It was also identified that, in the innovation projects, 70% of the goods or services originating from research were to market these, 50% resulted in a patent for the company and 80% publications of scientific articles / O conhecimento e a inova??o passaram a ser vistos como importantes for?as, tanto de sobreviv?ncia, quanto de aquisi??o de vantagens competitivas na economia brasileira, al?m de agregar valor ao produto como diferencial de mercado. O modelo da Tr?plice H?lice ? direcionado para a economia baseada no conhecimento. Nos ?ltimos seis anos o Governo Federal, atrav?s da Financiadora de Estudos e Projetos (FINEP), investiu em projetos de inova??o tecnol?gica, subven??o econ?mica, cerca de R$ 1 bilh?o, apoiando mais de 800 projetos com estes recursos. Segundo dados do MCTI, a regi?o Nordeste, ao longo dos anos 2000 a 2010, aumentou os disp?ndios em Ci?ncia e Tecnologia (considerando as atividades de pesquisa e desenvolvimento mais atividades cient?ficas e correlatas) dos Governos estaduais em rela??o ?s suas receitas totais. Em 2000, 0,51% das receitas totais eram investidos em C&T, enquanto em 2010 este valor passou a ser de 1,31%. Entre os nove Estados, a Para?ba tem destaque. Em 2000, 0,33% de suas receitas totais foram direcionadas para inova??o, alcan?ando 2,04% em 2010, o maior aumento da regi?o. Enquanto o RN investiu 0,24% em 2000 e em 2010, alcan?ou a marca de 1,42%. Segundo o IBGE, no per?odo 2000-2011, as micro e pequenas empresas suplantaram a barreira dos 6 milh?es de estabelecimentos. Em 2000, havia 4,2 milh?es de estabelecimentos, enquanto em 2011 eram 6,3 milh?es de estabelecimentos em atividade. Portanto, em todo o per?odo, houve uma cria??o de aproximadamente 2,1 milh?es de novos estabelecimentos. Entre 2000 e 2011, as micro e pequenas empresas criaram 7,0 milh?es de empregos com carteira assinada, 8,6 milh?es de postos de trabalho em 2000, para 15,6 milh?es em 2011. Diante deste cen?rio, mostra-se a import?ncia deste estudo no que se refere ao investimento dos Governos em PD&I em micro e pequenas empresas. Este trabalho tem como objetivo analisar a intera??o Universidades Empresas - Governo no desenvolvimento da inova??o em micro e pequenas empresas do Rio Grande do Norte participantes dos editais do Inova da FAPERN. Optou-se por adotar como m?todo de pesquisa o estudo de caso, quanto ao procedimento da pesquisa, explorat?ria-descritiva, sobre documentos e com coordenadores e pesquisadores dos projetos de inova??o aprovados pelo PAPPE Subven??o (Inova-RN I, II e III). A coleta de dados foi feita atrav?s do relat?rio confeccionado pela FAPERN intitulado: Avalia??o das empresas financiadas e apoiadas pelo Programa Subven??o ? Inova??o Tecnol?gica para Micro e Pequenas Empresas do RN - INOVA-RN (2010) e aplica??o de question?rio com 40 perguntas fechadas e 1 aberta, para 30 afirmativas compostas com base na escala Likert de 5 pontos. Quanto ? an?lise dos dados foi qualitativa e quantitativa. O estudo proporcionou identificar a import?ncia e os entraves oriundos da rela??o Governo, Empresa (micro e pequena) e Universidade como essencial para o desenvolvimento econ?mico da regi?o. Foi identificado tamb?m que dos projetos de inova??o, 70% dos produtos ou servi?os originados das pesquisas foram para o mercado, destes, 50% geraram patente para a empresa e 80% publica??es de artigos cient?ficos

Thus, our investigation aimed to determine the extent to which sustainability practices of companies associated to REDEPETRO-RN are developed through their own efforts or influenced by the Triple Helix interorganizational arrangement (governamental organizations, education and research institutions, and industries). The research instrument used was a questionnaire in order to map and characterize the sustainability practices. The research subjects were business owners and managers. The data collected supported the descriptive, correspondence and correlation analyzes. Were identified a greater emphasis of the companies surveyed in developing sustainability practices and greater economic influence of business organizations in the construction of sustainability status. It was concluded with confirmation of thesis of the REDEPETRO-RN arrangement exhibits the characteristics and functioning of a common Interorganizational Cooperative Arrangement, not those of a triple helix interorganizational arrangement, given that the influences exerted for the development of social, environmental and economical sustainability on the part of teaching and research institutions, and government and business organizations do not interact with one another sufficiently to create a virtuous circle of cooperation among the associated companies. By contrast, the Interorganizational Cooperative Arrangement plays an important role in strengthening the competitiveness of companies affiliated to REDEPETRO-RN, by combining different competencies in an attempt at supporting the adoption of sustainability practices, a role reinforced by the scope of PETROBRAS, which, due to its economic importance, has considerable weight in the managerial decisions of associated companies / Esta pesquisa explorou a gest?o de pr?ticas de sustentabilidade social, ambiental e econ?mica de 72 empresas associadas ?

Os dados coletados subsidiaram a realiza??o de an?lises descritivas, de correspond?ncia e correla??o. Identificou-se uma maior ?nfase das empresas no desenvolvimento de pr?ticas de sustentabilidade econ?mica e uma maior influ?ncia das organiza??es empresariais na constru??o desse status de sustentabilidade, confirmando a tese de que o arranjo REDEPETRO-RN apresenta caracter?sticas e funcionamento de um Arranjo Cooperativo Interoganizacional (ACI) comum, n?o apresentando caracter?sticas de um arranjo interorganizacional do tipo H?lice Tripla, dado as influ?ncias exercidas para o desenvolvimento de pr?ticas de sustentabilidade social, ambiental e econ?mica por parte das institui??es de ensino e pesquisa, das organiza??es governamentais e empresariais n?o interagirem entre si suficientemente para configurar um c?rculo virtuoso de coopera??o entre as empresas associadas.

Typology, degree of innovation, evaluation methodologies and mechanisms to support innovation : Still on the theme of innovation additional concepts that help the reader to a greater understanding, such as are presented. Following is approached conceptualization of the triple helix, highlighting the concepts advocated by Etzkowitz and Leydesdorff, Salomon and Silva and Ipiranga, Freitas and Paiva, among others. With regard to methodological aspects, we propose a descriptive, exploratory and explanatory research quantitative and qualitative approach with the target audience group of companies served by INOVA PRO- NAGI design - multi-institutional action from a public resource called FINEP promotes the development of innovative companies in the State of Rio Grande do Norte - in 2013. The research should provide reflection and understanding of the influence of public investment in innovation, which by means of qualitative predictive variables associated with quantitative method to explain which variables are significant variations in the degree of maturity of enterprises studied / Os investimentos p?blicos no desenvolvimento da inova??o no pa?s, quer por meio do aparelhamento das universidades publicas, quer por meio de editais de fomento, cresceram vertiginosamente nos ?ltimos anos. Analisar a efici?ncia e efic?cia da aplica??o dos recursos p?blicos ?, sobretudo em tempos de austeridade, primordial para o desenvolvimento de um pa?s. Neste contexto, a presente pesquisa tem como objetivo identificar a influ?ncia dos investimentos p?blicos de fomento ? inova??o no grau de maturidade de inova??o de empresas instaladas no Estado do RN. Objetiva-se ainda identificar a influ?ncia regional, a partir do local de instala??o capital ou interior, no desempenho das empresas estudadas no grau de inova??o. A fundamenta??o te?rica parte da compreens?o da dimens?o do conceito sobre a inova??o e a sua defini??o para efeitos deste trabalho. Ainda sobre a tem?tica da inova??o s?o apresentadas conceitua??es adicionais que auxiliam o leitor a uma maior compreens?o, tais como: tipologia, graus de inova??o, metodologias de avalia??o e mecanismos de apoio ? inova??o. Na sequ?ncia ? abordada a conceitua??o sobre a tr?plice h?lice, ressaltando os conceitos preconizados por Etzkowitz e Leydesdorff, Salomon e Silva e Ipiranga, Freitas e Paiva, entre outros. No tocante aos aspectos metodol?gicos, prop?e-se uma pesquisa descritiva, explorat?ria e explicativa de abordagem quanti-qualitativa, tendo como p?blico-alvo o grupo de empresas atendidas pelo projeto PR?-INOVA NAGI a??o multiinstitucional que a partir de recursos de uma chamada p?blica da FINEP promove o desenvolvimento da inova??o em empresas do Estado do Rio Grande do Norte no ano de 2013. A pesquisa dever? proporcionar reflex?es e compreens?o da influ?ncia dos investimentos p?blicos em inova??o, que por meio de vari?veis qualitativas preditivas, associada ao m?todo quantitativo explicar quais vari?veis s?o significativas na varia??o do grau de maturidade em inova??o das empresas estudadas
