Indústria 4.0: um estudo sobre inovação aberta através da conexão entre indústrias e startups

Abstract

Faced with a scenario where there are several technologies and innovations, as Brazilian industries need to reinvent themselves to maintain their position in the market, especially in relation to the Fourth Industrial Revolution. In light of this, this paper aims to answer the research question about how open innovation can be applied as Brazilian industries advance towards industry 4.0, aiming to present the results and obtain origins of connecting industries with startups, seen as open innovation, for the development of new ways of working and innovation. For this, studies were deepened in relation to open innovation, startups and industry 4.0 and the technical procedure of case study with an exploratory nature was used. The case analyzed was that of the National Startup Industry 4.0 Connection Program (PNCSI) of the Brazilian Agency for Industrial Development (ABDI), which provided a connection between 30 industries and 59 startups to carry out proof of concept (POCs). The main impacts perceived by industries and startups were carried out, and the researcher also identified the exploratory nature with 2 industries and 2 startups participating in the program, in order to further deepen the analysis in relation to a connection that corroborates the 4.0 model. The main results observed were that a connection helps as industries in the path of the 4.0 model and that, in order to obtain better results against the connection, the industry maturity and the startup maturity must be considered critically. This study has contributions to industries and startups that aim to carry out transactions and partnerships for solutions to technological demands and needs.
