Technological Incubator - Rio de Janeiro

Business Incubation: a tool for enabling innovation and entrepreneurship.

This incubator supports popular cooperatives for creating livelihoods and income generating opportunities for poor and disadvantaged people, particularly women. The program is managed by Fundação COPPETEC (COPPETEC Foundation) and the Technology Transfer Office of COPPE/UFRJ. ITCP was founded in 1996 with an agreement between COPPE/UFRJ, FINEP (Brazilian Innovation Agency) and the Fundação Banco do Brasil (Bank of Brazil Foundation) in response to growing unemployment in Brazil. Since its creation, ITCP has contributed directly to creating more than 1,200 new livelihoods and jobs in Rio de Janeiro. ITCP has its own facilities with 400 square meters of building space located on the university campus.

Acho muito importante o conhecimento, e mais importante do que o conhecimento e' doar o que se sabe a alguem que vai usa-lo como uma chave, abrindo esperanca, consolidando o que para quem sabe e' as vezes tao facil. Tornar as comunidades independentes e' solucao para todos,dar opcoes de vencer e' uma obrigacao social que o mundo esta precisando mais do que nunca. Com treino e orientacao, vc descobriu o que sabe hoje, multiplicar conhecimento, traz satisfacao, e avanco, traz comida pra toda mesa.
