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. Several countries have adopted energy programs with mission-oriented characteristics. Brazil, for example, 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. This article’s aim is to compare these programs’ characteristics using mission-oriented policy constructs with a view to suggesting possible improvements based on the literature review and capturing insights as well as offering a framework that could be a useful tool for assessing and formulating new renewable energy innovation policies in other countries.
