In December 2025, the OECD published a working paper on national quantum strategies and policies that included Brazil’s Competence Centre for Quantum Technologies among its case studies. The OECD paper described the center, supported by approximately USD 10 million from Embrapii during 2022-2027, as a program creating “an open innovation environment for the creation and attraction of start-ups.”
Separately, the Qureca Quantum Initiatives Worldwide 2025 survey documented Brazil’s cumulative national quantum technology funding at over BRL 430 million (approximately USD 79 million). Individual programs include BRL 60 million for the Embrapii Competence Center at Senai Cimatec, BRL 31 million for the FAPESP QuTIa program, BRL 32 million for the Quantum Technologies Laboratory at CBPF, BRL 150 million for the FAPESP QuaTI workforce program, and targeted funding for specialized institutes ranging from BRL 9 million to BRL 40 million.
Brazil does not yet have a single published national quantum strategy document, but the combined investment portfolio places the country as the leading quantum R&D investor in Latin America.
