Government
The federal government, a unit of the Ministry of Science and
Technology, is a key sponsor of CTI by providing financial support for
the organization and the public universities it partners with. The local
government is also involved in the project selection process to
meet social and developmental goals.

CTI more capability to work through the bureaucratic of Brazilian
government when seeking out for approval of the various projects they
are currently working on.

sector funding while CTI will take a longer process to expand their
organization.
