In order to give space to ideas for good business, the Nexus - innovation hub of the São José dos Campos Technological Park selects, until the 7th of october, companies and projects for its incubation and acceleration program. They can participate from entrepreneurs with ideas still on paper to startups already established. Candidates will go through two stages of evaluation - business model and execution power - as well as workshops and pitch.
While the incubation is focused on young technology-based companies, the acceleration is focused on digital startups, young companies with great potential for rapid growth. Thus, the incubation program lasts up to two years and the acceleration program lasts up to one year.
Nexus is aimed at stimulating and creating new ventures based on innovative businesses with high added value and with a technological base, which operate preferentially in the following areas: aerospace, automotive, agrotechnology, electronics, energy, fintech, information technology, internet of things, industry 4.0, environment, smart cities and health.
"Our program has the role of driving the development and strengthening of the region's innovation ecosystem, joining forces and positioning São José as an entrepreneurial city, ready to receive new startups", explains Alexandre Barros, PqTec's entrepreneur and innovation manager.
Registration is free and a differential of this selection is the possibility for the candidate to register even if he / she has not yet registered a CNPJ. Proposals can come from any city.
"Being in a technological park is a great differential for all profiles of startups, due to the network of partners, mentors and investors, in addition to the universities installed here", analyzes Barros.
