Sumario:Education as well as Science, Technology and Innovation are fundamental in supporting economic growth and improving the quality of life. The use and development of scientific knowledge and technological capacity are fundamental for the survival of countries that seek the autonomy and sovereignty necessary for negotiations in a globalized world. The Covid-19 pandemic has shown that countries that invest more in Science, Technology and Innovation have obtained better results in facing the crisis. Through postgraduate studies, Brazil has sought to consolidate its scientific base and train human resources capable of solving regional and national problems. The adequacy between the level and type of academic training and the professional situation has been a topic of debate. In general, the fate of masters and doctors who graduated from Brazilian postgraduate courses is a subject with possibility and need for exploration. The Biotechnology area is considered a strategic area for development and identified as a priority for growth, in terms of creating new master's and doctoral courses. This work carried out a literature review on the theme about Science, Technology, Innovation and development and also sought to analyze, through a case study, the repercussions of Postgraduate Studies in Biotechnology for the professional life of masters and doctors who graduated in the period from 2013 to 2016 in a program that has a level of excellence.
