Given its transversality, Water was one of the sectors considered bearers of the future. The availability of water resources in the quantity and quality necessary for human and animal consumption and productive activities is an essential condition for the development of any economy, directly impacting investment decisions and the ability to retain and attract highly qualified human capital. Furthermore, strengthening the environment for innovation and business in water resources will allow the State to position itself differently in providing solutions related to the rationalization of the use of these resources and the development of businesses and technologies related to the topic.
Biotechnology was considered a transversal area of great importance for the development of the state of Ceará due to its impact on productivity, which generates added value and boosts the competitiveness of several industrial sectors. Furthermore, Ceará has important Research, Development, and Innovation assets in the area, with considerable participation by the State in the total number of research groups, and higher and postgraduate courses in the country.
The Construction Sector was considered strategic due to its social and economic relevance, since it is responsible for a significant part of the formal jobs in the industrial sector of Ceará and an important vector of development, in view of the need to reduce the housing deficits of the State and improvement of the infrastructure offered to the productive sector. An integral part of the production chain of the Construction Sector, the Non-Metallic Minerals Sector was also highlighted as strategic due to the importance of making greater use of the State's mineral potential and its export vocation.
The Sea Economy Sector, considered in the literature as a hypercluster¹, brings together numerous segments, including logistics and tourism activities in maritime services, the naval industry, ocean resources, and research, extraction, and processing, both of food and of other living and non-living resources. In this way, its identification as a strategic sector is a consequence of the vision that correct planning and promotion will provide organization, chaining, and dynamization of activities with high potential, thus using the more than 500 kilometers of Ceará coastline as drivers of innovation and development from across the state. 1 Cluster - can be defined as the agglomeration of companies in a given geographic area that have a certain level of interaction with each other. Thus, hypercluster is the junction of the various clusters that are components of the Sea Economy.
The Electrometal-Mechanical Sector was considered a bearer of the future for its ability to change the industrial profile of the State, especially due to the presence of large private investments and the installation of a metal-mechanical hub, considered one of the priorities on the government agenda.
Given its transversality, the Energy Sector was one of the segments considered bearers of the future. The sector already makes a relevant contribution to the economic dynamics of the State, with unique potential through wind and solar sources, for example. The new investments announced have a strong presence in the interior of the State and, despite the loss of the national leadership position in the generation of energy by these sources, the current moment is of convergence between public and private actors to guarantee conditions for the rapid development of this industry, in order to guarantee the necessary agility in the business environment and the attraction of new ventures in the production chain.
The Agrifood Industry was considered strategic due to its social and economic relevance since it plays a significant role in the generation of jobs in the State and in the value aggregation of agricultural and extractive activities. The expressive participation of the sector is evident not only in Ceará's export agenda but also in the national production of several subsectors that compose it, being a preponderant factor for the optimistic view of the contribution of this sector to local development in the next decade.
The Logistics Sector was considered essential to leverage the future of the State given its relevance to the economy, considering, firstly, the strategic location, in view of its proximity to North America and Europe, as well as the importance of the activity for the industry development. The transformation of infrastructure and the modernization of logistics services can become competitive advantages for the economy of Ceará.
Given its transversality, the Environment Sector was one of the activities considered bearers of a future for Ceará. The growth of the population and the income level of the countries raises the challenge of producing goods to supply the demand using natural resources as efficiently as possible, as well as the continuous search for the development of inputs from renewable resources. This way, the development and mastery of sustainable technologies can reduce costs and increase the added value of products from different industrial segments, ensuring the choice of a development route that involves the generation of wealth in synergy with the preservation of the environment.
The Consumer Products Sector was considered strategic for having industrial centers in all regions of the State, in the sectors of Footwear, Clothing, and Furniture, which represent a significant part of industrial jobs, generating relevant social impact in the State. Ceará's competitiveness in these sectors can be easily demonstrated both by its expressive exports and by its prominent position when compared to other federative units.
The Health Sector was considered strategic and prioritized in all regions of Ceará, capable of guiding the development of the State, containing a profile that complements the industrial fabric that exists today. Considered intensive in technology and knowledge, its ability to contribute to raising productivity and improving the innovation environment was recognized. In this direction, the quantity and quality of existing RD&I assets in Ceará, linked to the segment, increase the sector's capacity for rapid growth, enabling the creation of a differentiated dynamic, with countless opportunities for innovative entrepreneurship, generation of high-paying jobs and synergistic actions between academy and industry.
A major challenge for the state is associated with the increase in crime and the strengthening of the activities of criminal factions, representing a threat to the attraction of investments and reflecting in the loss of competitiveness of the state. According to the Atlas of Violence (2020), in 2018, there were 57,956 homicides in Brazil, with Ceará having one of the highest rates (54 per 100,000 inhabitants). Facing this scenario, the importance of planning, synergistic action, and understanding of best practices has increased to contribute to the prevention and control of violence and crime. The complexity of the issue requires a systemic view of public security for adequate confrontation, considering the different spheres of necessary integration. Primary, secondary, and tertiary prevention are highlighted, with the productive sector being one of the most powerful agents of transformation in this context. The Public Security sector, therefore, includes the spheres of Prevention and Governance, Prison and Socio-educational systems, and Public Security and Social Defense.
The Information and Communication Technology Sector was considered essential to leverage the future of the State, due to its transversal profile to the industry and, consequently, the ability to contribute to increasing the productivity of various economic activities, including the new forms of production linked to Industry. 4.0, enabling the development of innovations. In this direction, the development of the sector would also determine greater use of existing data infrastructure assets, such as submarine fiber optic cables and the Digital Belt, connecting the main municipalities of Ceará to Europe and North America. Furthermore, as it is a technology and knowledge intensive sector, and without significant barriers to entry, Information and Communication Technology enables the creation of a differentiated dynamic, with great opportunities for innovative entrepreneurship and the generation of high-paying jobs.
The tourist potential of several regions of the State, as well as the current relevance of the sector, not only in the generation of employment and income but also in the demand for industrial products, were the motivations that led several specialists to prioritize Tourism in several panels carried out by the project. In the same direction, the sectors that make up the Creative Economy were identified as strategic in all regions of the State, bringing together activities related to knowledge, culture, creativity, and intellectual capacity, making it evident not only the transversality of these sectors but also the positive impact that their development would bring to the aggregation of value of industrial products, the strengthening of cultural identity and entrepreneurship in the State. This way, Tourism and Creative Economy were united in a single route in order to strengthen the relationship of the actors that make up these sectors and thus strengthen the mutual gains obtained through the joint development of these activities.
