The objective of this research was to identify to which extent the ICT Law lead to a raise of the productive and technological density of the ICT industry in Brasil and the raise of its participation in the international ICT market. Two kinds of online questionnaires were applied: to the companies which used the Law and to the Science and Technology Institutions (STI) – universities and research institutes. 70% of the companies answered the questionnaire and 60% in the case of the STI. The study concludes that the Law stimulated market expansion of the Brazilian ICT sector through local production, but with imited value aggregation. The companies raised their innovation capacity, however with irrelevant participation on the country’s electronic products exports. Adjustments of the actual mechanisms of the IL to raise its effectiveness are proposed and also new mechanisms to build up the most innovative companies.
