Scientific and technological development in Venezuela

Overview

Venezuela’s scientific and technological institutions have focused on institutional milestones and practical community applications. In late September 2026, the National Fund for Science, Technology and Innovation (Fonacit) marked its 25th anniversary, honoring long-serving employees and noting its 2001 establishment under the Organic Law of Science, Technology and Innovation to align financing with population needs.

By mid-October 2026, the Foundation for Science and Technology Development (Fundacite) expanded its efforts through technical training initiatives. These programs targeted the agricultural and livestock sectors in Anzoátegui and Carabobo to improve agronomic practices and sector sustainability. Additionally, in Apure, training sessions were held to equip communal promoters with scientific tools under the ‘Dr. Humberto Fernández-Morán’ Science, Technology, and Innovation Mission.
