Resumo: Mission-oriented programs have constantly been used as innovation policies at times when governments (or society) are faced with complex challenges that demand radical innovations and multiplayer coordination. The Apollo and Manhattan projects are the most cited historical examples. Nowadays, the worldwide climate-change question, including the energy source issue, appears as an example of a mission-oriented challenge. Recently, the Brazilian government launched three programs (PAISS, PAISS 2 and Inova Energia) to foster innovations in renewable energy sources such as biofuels, solar and wind power. These programs dealt with radical innovations, big challenges and multiplayer coordination, but did not use some important mission-oriented best practices. Thus, this article’s aim is to compare these programs’ characteristics using mission-oriented policy constructs and suggest possible improvements based on the literature review.
