FAPEMIG is Minas Gerais’ state research foundation, and its funding is strongly geared toward building scientific, technological, and innovation capacity within the state. It supports universities, public research institutes, utilities, and state-linked organizations through project grants, training support, and infrastructure investments, with a clear emphasis on turning research into practical innovation and strengthening local R&D systems. The 2026 calls show a particularly strong interest in entrepreneurial science, certified testing/laboratory infrastructure, and workforce development for ICTs and public-sector research bodies.
State-level, programmatic grantmaking through formal public calls rather than unsolicited proposals. Awards are typically tied to specific thematic calls with defined deadlines, usually supporting institutions and consortia in Minas Gerais; grant sizes vary from smaller capacity-building awards to large pooled calls worth millions of reais.

Monitor the official edital calendar closely and apply only through the designated call process, since these opportunities do not accept unsolicited proposals. Eligibility is highly geography-bound to Minas Gerais and often favors ICTs, public agencies, and innovation ecosystems; applicants should align projects tightly to the call theme, budget limits, and submission window, and be prepared to demonstrate technical merit, institutional capacity, and local impact.
