Political, technical, and institutional factors present in the creation of the Campinas Technological Hub (1965-1985)

Abstract

In this article, we present the historical process of creation of the Technological Hub of Campinas. We seek to relate the local historical context, its direct link with the University of Campinas and more precisely with the work developed in the University’s Institute of Physics. We also try to analyze the direct influence of the state, its scope, and limits present in the initiatives proposed by the military regime and its developmentalist policies
