Agreed. Without the leadership and the guidance of the President, this progress could have never been achieved. The main reason is that he is very open minded and takes initiatives. The results can be observed not only in this hi-tech field, but also in other areas as well. For example, we have found more oil reserves during the past 5 years than during the 8 year mandate of his predecessor.

Winning by sharing written by Leon Benjamin,

Winning By Sharing is a term introduced into mainstream business language by Leon Benjamin in his book Winning By Sharing. It is defined as a state of cooperation between individuals, companies and nation states where there is a continuous fair exchange of value as opposed to the prevailing nature of business and government that is predicated on the notion of "I win. You lose."
The term is derived from, and inspired by a number of ground breaking research findings most notably from Yochai Benkler (professor of Law at Yale University). Benkler's definitive paper, Coase's Penguin, or Linux and the Nature of the Firm, on the implications of the Open Source movement concludes that peer to peer sharing as a means of production is inherently more efficient and resilient than hierarchical, command and control organisational models.
Given that a Brazilian - Ricardo Semler has proven (with his company Semco) this is possible, Brazil has the potential to be the world's largest and most efficient economy.

Lots of specialists argue that home loans help a lot of people to live the way they want, just because they are able to feel free to buy needed goods. Moreover, different banks offer commercial loan for all people.
I heard about SERPRO and I think it is the largest IT company in the southern hemisphere. I was searching for some details about the same and glad to get this here.
