The main goal of IEL Rio is to unite academy and institutes of science and technology with industry. Amongst its objectives, there are development of entrepreneurship programs in order to promote the creation of new leaderships and the adoption, in the graduation curriculum, of disciplines about the entrepreneurial action.[1]

The politician Euvaldo Lodi and the engineer Roberto Simonsen were honored by industry thanks to their work: while the first one gave its name to IEL, the second one became the name of "a stutides and research institute of the Industry Federation of São Paulo State, which comprehends in its structure the COPS – Superior Council of Political and Social Guidance".[2]
