- 18. Technological Development and the role of Governments • Given the high risk of innovation/technology development in Aerospace, Governments play an important role in supporting new technologies development, mostly for pre-competitive R&D (low TRL) • On the other hand, international competition is becoming increasingly hard as new entrants develop new aircraft. Several countries being supported not for pre-competitive R&D but in Launch Aid. • Launch Aid distorts competition and, besides the fact that it is not WTO compliant, triggers a subsidy rush bringing to the market products that otherwise would not be launched. • As the OECD Export Finance Agreement, Embraer advocates a “level playing field” in Government assistance for aircraft development providing that, competition is governed by market rules and not Government support.
