The companies selected can be incubated for a period of three years, during which they will have access to physical and technological infrastructure (private rooms, auditorium, meeting rooms, internet and telephones), as well as a package of services for the company development in the business field (advisories, trainings and follow-ups). This period can be extended for two more cycles of one year each. Annually, the Incubator opens tenders where are included the details about the formats of each project to be submitted. The selection criteria are: degree of innovation of the product or service, potential for interaction with UFRJ and technical and economic feasibility.
