In an increasingly competitive global context, the territories that stand out are those capable of transforming knowledge into economic value. In this scenario, incubators play a strategic role by supporting entrepreneurs in the early stages of their projects, reducing risks and accelerating growth.
In Guimarães, Set.Up Guimarães positions itself as a platform supporting qualified entrepreneurship, fostering the connection between ideas, talent, and the market. More than a physical space, it is an ecosystem that integrates mentoring, capacity building, networking, and access to funding opportunities.
The impact of incubators is not measured solely by the number of companies created, but by their ability to generate sustainable innovation, qualified employment, and talent retention within the territory. By supporting startups across diverse sectors — from industry to technology — they contribute to a more resilient and diversified economy.
At a time when innovation is a critical factor of competitiveness, investing in incubation is investing in the future of the territory.
