| Abstract | |
The growing demand for natural products developed by sustainable bases has created new business oportunities in the Brazilian Amazon. As part of this development, biotecnological research advances have show fundamental role in expanding its potential, pushing forward, on this way, the bioindustry productive chairs on the region. Sectors that deserve attention on the production of bioprodutcs under new tecniques bases are represented by the cosmetics and phytotherapics industries. Focusing on these relations between biodiversity, biotechnology and bioindustry, this research will evaluate on-going experiences which englobe a system of partnerships among companies, universities, research institutes, financial agencies, active local communities and unions from within and without the region. This research is empirically supported by interviews and visits to several industries, with different sizes; research centers and small scale emergent enterprises sponsored by Business Incubation Programs of Technological Bases in Belém and Manaus.
