Abstract

Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are the main beneficiaries of the emerging Innovation Ecosystems that orbit around regional initiatives such as technology parks and business incubators. The Defense sector, like any technology- based industrial sector, depends on the agility with which SMEs embrace opportunities and accept risks when prioritizing their projects. Aiming to take advantage of this latent entrepreneurial energy in SMEs, this work suggests some guiding elements in the revising of the Brazilian Navy science, technology, and innovation (ST&I) strategy capable of leveraging innovative projects with the growing number of technology parks in the country. Thus, these elements are described based on the interdependence between innovation and entrepreneurial creativity, practical experience and knowledge production cycles, and properties of emerging systems and ecosystems. A brief mention is made of agile methodologies and structures, before concluding that interactive practices with technology parks could have a great reach in the development of the naval science, technology, and innovation sector
