For the analysis of Parana innovation system, the research consisted of treatment of descriptive statistics of the data, using tables, graphs and charts to better understand the behavior of costs, which were drawn from official sources such as CNPq and IBGE. The main results of the survey showed that the science and technology system is presented on the same level compared to the national, but with fragility about the interaction between universities and companies, confirming previous studies and also found evidence for Brazil and other units of the federation.
