New biotechnology could be a path for international specialisation in Portugal if existing critical mass was restructured by district or region and joined up with Portugal's economic diplomacy efforts to secure rapid penetration of emerging new opportunities in Brazil and Mozambique. Brazil offering a highly-developed, fast-growing biotechnology sector, is of particular interest says the "Biotech Portugal 2005"  report produced by INTELI. INTELI is a policy and intelligence centre involved in strategic studies in motor vehicle, aeronautics and other sectors. Among market opportunities is bio-combustion – ethanol as an alternative to petrol – and bio-diesel (replacing diesel) in Portuguese-speaking countries such as Brazil (distilled from sugar cane) and Mozambique (soya used to produce bio diesel).
