Abstract:Brazil is an important innovative country in Latin America and Caribbean. In 2020，Brazil’s Ministry of Science and Technology’s expenditures reached 8.02 billion Brazilian Reals. The country has built synchrotron light source Sirius and a research station at Antarctica，and has made significant progress in the research of AIDS and asthma therapies. Since the new administration was sworn in 2019，Brazil has launched a 5G network strategy，a national initiative on the Internet of things，and a plan to bring science into schools，and released the National Innovation Policy and the MCTIC Priorities 2020-2023. Brazilian government split the Ministry of Science，Technology，Innovation and Communications into two separate ministries-the Ministry of Science，Technology and Innovation and the Ministry of Communications-and rebuilt the National Council for Science and Technology. As the epicenter of the COVID-19 pandemic，Brazil has set up a virus research network. At the same time，pharmaceutical companies and vaccine makers worldwide have conducted clinical trials in the country. Between 2016 and 2021，Brazil published a total of 244，100 academic papers，with 39% published through international cooperation；physics，engineering and chemistry ranked the top three in terms of international cooperation on academic research，with most research partners from the US，the UK and Spain. Academic papers jointly published by Chinese and Brazilian researchers accounted for 6.97% of the total number of internationally coauthored papers. Brazil has also carried out fruitful international cooperation under the BRICS cooperation framework as well as other multinational and bilateral mechanisms. In the fields related to the new industrial revolution，Brazil has leveraged its solid industrial foundation to launch “Industry 4.0 initiative” and a digital transformation strategy，and has made a series of remarkable progress in artificial intelligence，aviation manufacturing and aerospace.
