The Brazil Innovation and Development Index (IBID) 2025 was launched last Friday (29) during the Startup Summit in Florianópolis. Created by the BPTO in 2024, the index has established itself as the primary reference for innovation in Brazil, encompassing all five regions and the 27 states, based on the methodology of the WIPO Global Innovation Index.

According to BPTO President Júlio César Moreira, the IBID helps identify regional potential and guide public policies. Chief Economist Rodrigo Ventura highlighted the new geography of Brazilian innovation, marked by decentralization and the emergence of innovation hubs across the country.

The ranking shows São Paulo, Santa Catarina, and Paraná as national leaders, while the state of Amazonas climbed three positions. Northeast states also performed above expectations considering their income level, reinforcing the regional dynamism of Brazil’s innovation landscape.
