Abstract: Company innovation strategy and sustainable development are two related conceptual areas in the study of innovation management. The aim in this paper is to study the technological strategies and sustainable management of innovative small businesses, in the biotechnology, oil, pharmaceutical and shipbuilding sectors, within the Brazilian innovation context, in order to identify companies' characteristics, technological strategies used, the innovation policy instruments utilised, the partnerships developed, the sustainability management priority and the main protagonists. The results show that the innovation context can influence the development of enterprises, through a variety of factors, such as the institutional environment, the characteristics of the economic sector, sustainability management and established networks that affect the decision making and growth of these companies.
