Resumo

The structure of the pharmaceutical industry requires special attention on the part of developing countries, whose populations remain dependent both on the distribution of drugs and on a policy of significant reduction in established prices.  It is essential that governments, businesses and universities work together in order to plan future strategies for this sector. This article reflects on the Forum’s technological innovation initiatives, financed with more than R$200 million in resources from Sectoral Funds. Given this industry’s dependence on innovation, the present work presents a decision-making methodology for determining investment priorities to be applied by the working group of the above-mentioned Forum. It also aims to offer support mechanisms for a better distribution of financial resources by creating a hierarchy of the already functioning programs of the government agencies.
