Testimonials
Maria João maia
Founder and CEO, Lenera
I already knew the city and was aware of UPTEC, a science and technology park connected to the University, which greatly facilitates our contacts—and that's how we came here.
Ricardo Teixeira
F+Founder, X+X
UPTEC is like a second home to me. I've worked in co-working spaces, small offices, and larger offices. Throughout this growth journey, from when we were 4 to now, with over 150 members, the UPTEC community has been essential in providing strategic advice, promoting entrepreneurs, and offering logistical support.
André Jordão
Fundador and CEO, Barkyn
The place where we experienced most of our growth! It was important to be surrounded by other entrepreneurs with the same issues, challenges, and focus—which is not only supportive but also challenges our assumptions. The infrastructure is also excellent for the growth phase of a startup!
