EMBRAPII Industry R&D Co-Funding

EMBRAPII Industry R&D Co-Funding is the core industrial research route under EMBRAPII, Brazil's Empresa Brasileira de Pesquisa e Inovação Industrial. EMBRAPII operates as a social organization under management contracts with federal ministries, and this program uses its national network of certified research units to turn company-led R&D ideas into funded projects across Brazil. The instrument is a non-reimbursable grant co-funding model built around three-way risk sharing. EMBRAPII typically contributes up to one-third of project cost, the company contributes one-third, and the accredited unit contributes the remaining share. The record places typical tickets between R$500,000 and R$10 million, with rolling access, Portuguese-language submission, and delivery through a certified unit rather than a direct company application. This route is strongest for Brazilian for-profit companies that already have a clear industrial R&D problem and a unit partner able to host the work. It is designed for applied development inside EMBRAPII's network, not for open, standalone corporate grant requests. The practical path is to find the right accredited research unit, structure the consortium, and use the program as a risk-sharing tool for projects that need technical depth and public co-funding.
