FINEP's mission entails promoting economic and social development in Brazil through public funding for the development of ST&I.

Corporate values identified in interviews with the agency's employees were validated also and its mission revised.
blending the traditional focus on large-scale missions with a pluralist funding of individual projects and scientific institutions,
support streams for basic research via research councils, mission-oriented agencies, and strateegi funds of various types constitute different policy layers, sometimes,
diffusion-oriented, mission-oriented, excellence-oriented, and oriented toward capability building. Ergas (1987) identifies two principal orientations of countries'technology policy:
What is the distribution between support of diffusion, mission-orientation, excellence and capacity-building?.Which interests do the funding model

we reveal a strong emphasis of China's S&t programs on mission and academic excellence,
both regarding thematic missions or technologies and the aim to strengthen. The concentration of resources in mission-and excellencefoccuse programs reflects a long-lasting orientation in Chinese research and innovation policy

we know they have a clear mission focus and as such should be located quite close to the 863 Program and the Key technologies Program,
further confirming that government S&t funding is concentrated strongly on mission-based research. 3. 2 Mission Traditionally,
and sometimes overwhelming, mission orientation, often identifying specific areas where radical innovations are sought. The 16 Mega-engineering Projects identified in the last MLP are selected clearly missionorieented to address major economic and societal needs,
While the mission orientation has remained prominent throughout the history of the People's republic of china, there has been a trend towards increasing diversification of research priorities by including diffusion-but also excellenceorieente measures.
Another strongly mission-oriented program is the Key technologies Program. Created in the 10th Five-year Plan,
the 863 Program has strong mission elements. By strengthening innovation capacity in selected fields it aims to improve the international competitiveness of major industries.
Recently, however, the KIP has linked increasingly research at its institutes to mission objectives, again reinforcing the focus on missions rather than institutional development (Suttmeier et al. 2006).
Overall, institution-and capacity-building have received much less attention and focus than mission or excellence as priorities
which shape policy. This finding matches the conclusions drawn by Gu and Lundvall (2006) who argue that the investments in S&t have not been supported sufficiently by institutional development.
This is part of a new mission-led approach to innovation policy that is more global in outlook and oriented towards more societal goals.
It differs from an earlier mission-led period (1940s and 1950s) that was focused more nationally
The main novelty lies in the increasing attention given to such issues in formulating new missions for STI policy.
