The paper aims to analyze the challenges and opportunities for the implementation of industry 4.0 from the perspective of a public policy to encourage research, development and innovation (RD&I) from the Informatics Law (IL) in the Manaus Free Trade Zone (MFTZ). The theoretical foundation is initially carried out using the bibliographic and documental research method, based on a literature review on the main available knowledge scientific databases, using the terms “industry 4.0” and “research, development and innovation”, as well as the IL RD&I policy at MFTZ. The results are described in three dimensions: training and qualification of human resources, fostering the innovation ecosystem and RD&I.

The main objective of this article is to analyze the Brazilian public policy to promote research, development and innovation and the prospects for Industry 4.0 in the Industrial Pole of Manaus. For this, a documental and bibliographic survey was carried out with the objective of identifying public policies to encourage research, development and innovation in Brazil, as well as the initiatives of the Manaus Free Trade Zone for the development of Industry 4.0. Thus, the correlations between the public policies of the Brazilian government and its local perspectives in the Industrial Pole of Manaus were identified, highlighting that the main currently existing initiatives stem from the mandatory investment in RD&I contained in Brazilian legislation and how important is the participation of the National State for the development of Industry 4.0 initiatives in the Manaus Free Trade Zone.
