On 16 and 17 September 2013 the National Service of Industrial Apprenticeship - SENAI promoted in Curitiba-PR the First International Seminar on Industrial Innovation in Electrochemistry and attended more than 150 participants from Universities, Industries and government agencies. The motivation of this seminar was to disseminate and consolidate the culture of innovation in Brazilian industry and at the same time raise awareness for industries that innovation to be a constant practice in its different segments, and the electrochemistry to be an inductor in this process, due to its transversality in several areas. During the seminar invited lectures of companies showing the cases of projects undertaken with universities and researchers from national and international universities that conduct applied research in electrochemistry were presented. The invited speakers were from different countries like Department of Applied Electrochemistry of the Fraunhofer Institute from Germany, Center for Electrochemistry and Environmental Technologies (CNETE) from Canadian, University of Manchester from United Kingdom, Institute Acreo from Swedish and Massachusetts Institute of Technology from EUA. From Brazil the invited speakers were from University (UFAL and UFSCar) and different companies like, Volvo, Braskem, AkerSolutions, Itaipu, Rodhia, Weg Tintas, Tecno Plating, Copel, Neoortho, Klabin and Paranaense Metrics Network. Thus, the seminar aimed to promote interaction and dissemination of industry / research and the benefits generated by their processes and products from the point of view related to the theme Electrochemistry and its derivations in the area of materials and process innovation. The dynamics of the event was coordinated to ensure a stimulating discussion, inspiring and innovative environment while strengthening the relationship of industry and applied research groups so that they can act coordinately in the processes of innovation and technology, contributing to the growth of national industry. During the event also took place the inauguration of the first SENAI Institute of Innovation, the SENAI Institute of Innovation in Electrochemistry, located in Curitiba-Pr.The editors would like to thank all staff, participants and sponsors Fundação Araucária and CNPq for their support and a special thanks to Filipe Miguel Cassapo and Marco Antonio Areias Secco for the great support dedicated to the event.
