It is concentrated not only in the technological aspects and manufacturing management related to Industry 4.0, but also explores the issues of productivity of the economy, sector performance and international comparisons. It seeks to demonstrate the importance of the binomial innovation and productivity to Brazil`s insertion in the fourth industrial revolution. It is discussed the need for a new industrial and technological policy that also includes the labour training in STEM areas - science, technology, engineering and mathematics and, biological, aiming to induce the technological innovation.
