Incubation

UAlg supports the promotion and transformation of ideas and talents into business opportunities and entrepreneurial initiatives, promoting the creation of innovative and knowledge-based companies, called "start-ups" and "spin-offs", and dynamic creative businesses, providing interdisciplinary spaces of encounter and convergence between production and creative enjoyment, with integration of the value chain and creative subsectors.

Aware of the interest that UAlg's connection with the business universe has, fostering a proximity that benefits from the convergence of synergies, as well as the vocation that the free spaces existing within the UAlg Campuses enjoy in order to incubate companies, is The role played by the Division of Entrepreneurship and Technology Transfer, commonly known as the CRIA Division, is crucial in the development of projects to support the enterprise and business incubation.

In this context, initiatives designed to promote and encourage the transfer of knowledge, operated through mechanisms to support pre-incubation, incubation, post-incubation, and virtual incubation of companies, are inserted in this context. These actions usually rely on the collaboration and monitoring of the Algarve Region Coordination and Development Commission, CCDR Algarve, with a view to strengthening the support infrastructure of UAlg.
