of technical and academic knowledge produced in FGV schools
and research institutes.
THE ARMED FORCES AND FGV
The Brazilian Armed Forces have continually improved their activities, promoting a major transformation of Defense and, subse-
quently, the improvement of technological development for Brazil, with the construction of submarines (one with nuclear propulsion),
corvettes, and cutting-edge fighter aircraft, as well as mastery of cybernetic means. FGV is a long-standing partner of the Armed
Forces, with the goal of supporting them in such initiatives as:
Advising public and private institutions for more than 30 years, Projetos
works in the fields of Economics and Finance, Management and Administra-
tion, Law, and Public Policy. The unit has expertise for solutions to strategic
issues, aimed at the national and international development, relating to socio-
economic issues, disseminating knowledge regarding Brazil's national devel-
opment and its insertion in the globalized world.

CCE
Business Cooperation Committee
President: João Carlos de Luca
CEM
World Economic Center
Director: Carlos Geraldo Langoni
The Business Cooperation Committee (CCE) was established in 1990 with
the aim of discussing the implications for Brazil of the process of transforma-
tion of the international economy. The CCE brings together representatives
of the private sector to study, through the World Economic Center (CEM),
different issues related to the competitive integration of Brazil as an emerging
power in a dynamic and challenging external environment, taking advantage
of the FGV's excellence as a think tank.
Through the promotion of lectures, such as the seminar "Reavaliação do
Risco Brasil" ("Reassessment of the Brazil Risk"), with the presence of the
president of the Brazilian Central Bank Ilan Goldfajn, CEM discusses key issues
such as opening the economy, financial and capital flows, country risk evolu-
tion, innovation, and technology.
Submarine Development Program
The Submarine Development Program (PROSUB) was de-
veloped in 2008 through an agreement for the transfer of tech-
nology between Brazil and France and aims to protect the vast
Brazilian natural heritage, ensuring the country's sovereignty
at sea by means of investment in the maritime force and the
development of the defense industry. At the invitation of the
Brazilian Navy, FGV has participated in this initiative. The Naval
Base of Itaguaí is a complex with 540,000 square meters in
area, located in Sepetiba Bay, in the municipality of Itaguaí, Rio
de Janeiro. The monitoring and inspection of the project and
naval facilities were the responsibility of the Navy's Board of
Civil Works (DOCM), and FGV was initially responsible for de-
veloping and applying a project compliance analysis model and
providing the advisory services on activities that included the
strategic monitoring of projects and the training of technicians
to apply the developed methodology. Continuing this partner-
ship, FGV was requested to structure complementary work in
support of PROSUB. The first submarine, named Riachuelo, was
commissioned in December 2018, with the presence of the Pre-
sident of the Republic of Brazil, the Minister of Defense, the
Navy Commander, and other authorities.
Surface Vessel Procurement Program
The Surface Vessel Procurement Program (PROSUPER) is
one of the priority programs of the Brazilian Navy and inclu-
des escort ships, patrol ships, and a logistical support ship. The
main action of PROSUPER was the Tamandaré Corvette Project
(CCT), for the procurement of four escort ships, and FGV was
hired to provide support for the project. In December 2017, a
Request for Proposal (RFP) was launched aiming at the procu-
rement, via construction, of the first four CCTs. In June 2018, the
Short List was announced, contemplating the consortia that will
be submitting final proposals in 2019.
Brazilian Multipurpose Reactor Project
The Brazilian Multipurpose Reactor (RMB) project aims to pro-
vide Brazil with a strategic infrastructure for the national develop-
ment of nuclear sector activities in the fields of social applications,
electricity generation, and naval propulsion. FGV was contracted
to prepare a study aiming at the formulation of a self-sustaining
business model for the operation of the RMB.
Ammunition Factory
The Brazilian Navy's Fábrica Almirante Jurandyr da Cos-
ta Müller de Campos produces all medium and large-caliber
ammunition employed by the Navy. FGV developed an analysis
study for EMGEPRON, with the strategies for the development
of the factory.
Research and Development
.
The FGV carries out technical advisory project to expand
the research and development of Military Science at the
Army Command and General Staff School (ECEME). Since
2001, ECEME has been conducting its Graduate Program
in Military Science.
FGV signed a cooperation agreement with the University
of the Air Force (UNIFA) to share research, provide tech-
nical advisory services to the academic organization, and
deliver courses in strategic management and processes.
UNIFA aims to promote the development of Aerospace
Science and to train, at the cultural and professional level,
the military and civilians of the Aeronautics Command.
Training and Improvement
Executive MBA in Administration, Policy and Strategy
Since 1999, FGV has developed the Executive MBA in Ad-
ministration, Policy and Strategy in partnership with ECEME.
The one-year program is targeted at selected colonels and aims
to train military managers to address the organizational and
administrative challenges posed by their duties and to enab-
le officers to advise the highest ranks of the Armed Forces of
the Ministry of Defense and Bodies of the Executive Branch.
The program has already trained more than 750 officers, 112 of
whom have been promoted to Generals. In addition, MBA gra-
duates have contributed over time to important strategic areas
of government, assuming prominent roles as ministers and se-
cretaries in various areas of the formulation and implementa-
tion of public policy in Brazil.
International MBA in Political and Strategic Studies
Since 2015, FGV has developed an Executive MBA course
for senior officers of the Brazilian Army and friendly countries,
most of which have stricto sensu (Master's and doctorate) pos-
tgraduate degrees, in partnership with ECEME. This course,
which provides the degree "Executive MBA in Business Admi-
nistration: Political and Strategic Studies," is entirely developed
in English and has trained, to date, senior officials from 23 coun-
tries. In 2019, it will be attended by members of the Armed For-
ces of Cameroon, Canada, Colombia, India, Iran, Japan, Portugal,
Uruguay, and the United Kingdom. The course thus contributes
to the country's strategic actions for international insertion, by
increasing Brazil's participation and projecting its image abroad.
Entrepreneurship course at the undergraduate
and graduate level
A Memorandum of Understanding signed in 2015 betwe-
en the Military Engineering Institute (IME) and FGV has enab-
led the exchange of professors, joint promotion of events, and
research activities on topics of common interest, resulting in
numerous common courses and integrated activities. In parti-
cular, many IME students have attended classes and seminars
at various FGV schools, and IME teachers have lectured on the
FGV network. Additionally, since 2016, FGV has developed the
Entrepreneurship, Public Sector and Private Sector course alon-
gside IME. It is taught to mixed classes with students from both
institutions. There is a combination of the technological capa-
bilities of the IME students and the administrative capacities of
the FGV students. Startup projects have been presented annu-
ally to an audience of potential investors.
Executive MBA: Strategic Planning and Management
FGV carries out, alongside the Air Force Command and Ge-
neral Staff School (ECEMAR), the Executive MBA in Strategic
Planning and Management, as part of the training process of
the command officers of the Brazilian Air Force (FAB). The pro-
ject covers the entire national territory, online, with 171 students.
