Incubators and technology parks<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

All this prominence is a direct result of the environments for the generation and development of technology-based ventures that exist in Florian\u00f3polis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This fertile environment, like the incubators CELTA<\/a> e MIDI Technology<\/a>, as well as technology parks Alpha<\/a> e Sapiens Park<\/a> and Acate<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The competence of Florian\u00f3polis' incubators in generating successful innovative companies is widely recognized.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In fact, in 2008 and 2012 MIDI Tecnol\u00f3gico was voted Best Incubator by the National Award for Innovative Entrepreneurship, promoted by ANPROTEC. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Previously, CELTA won the same award three times (1997, 2006 and 2011).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In fact, in the last 10 editions of ANPROTEC's National Award for Innovative Entrepreneurship, on six occasions an incubated company from Florian\u00f3polis has been considered the best in Brazil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Universities contribute<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In addition to the incubators and technology parks, Florian\u00f3polis has three public universities and one private one, which contributes decisively to the training of highly qualified professionals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of the 4,000 or so businesses in the segment that exist in Florian\u00f3polis, most are software developers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As well as systems for energy management, control and management in industries, without forgetting the companies that develop and manufacture hardware for devices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Outside Brazil, the capital is already starting to gain visibility with actions such as the Floripa Business Hub, in Boston\/USA, developed jointly by Acif (Florian\u00f3polis Business Association) and Acate. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, this growth has actually led to a bottleneck in the sector. Today, there is a lack of qualified labor to meet all the demand, which has been imported from other Brazilian states.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
