Estratégias para o desenvolvimento da bioeconomia no estado do Amazonas

Abstract

This paper presents an overview of the state of Amazonas in terms of the development of a bioeconomy strongly linked to the potential of natural resources. This discussion fits well into the search of alternatives for the state’s economy, very centralized by the Manaus Industrial Park (PIM), which becomes increasingly threatened year after year. Thus, the article presents a relationship between the potential of local offerings and technological and market demands. It also discusses the economic and technological impacts of biodiversity innovation and human resources training, needed to leverage the development of applied science to the conversion of natural products into commercial products.
