Study goals
The main objective of this investigation is to examine the influence of technological cooperation on innovation efforts in Latin American countries, considering the segment of biotechnology applied to plant agribusiness (BAV).
Relevance / originality
To maintain the balance between economic development and environmental preservation is fundamental for the preservation of our planet. Innovation in this context becomes a priority mainly in sectors that demand specific knowledge and technologies, such as Biotechnology Applied to Plant Agribusiness (BAV).
Methodology / approach
A mapping of INPADOCS related to the IPC C12N – 15/82 was carried out. The survey was conducted on the Derwent Clarivate database, a Thomson Reuters® patent database.
Main results
The results show that technological cooperation, understood as a strategy that enhances technological development (Zhang & Tang, 2018; Ji, Barnett, & Chu, 2019; Mitze & Strotebeck, 2019), had a positive effect when analyzed in relation to the innovation effort in Latin American
Theoretical / methodological contributions
We hope with this research to contribute to the theoretical and conceptual advance on the theme “cooperation networks” in line with innovation and sustainability.
Social / management contributions
Managerially, it is expected to contribute, given that the identification and description of these cooperation networks may foster innovation in the area of biotechnology applied to biodiversity It is expected that the results may be the subject of reflection by public policy
