Our offering
We offer a wide range of benefits, resources and essential activities to support the growth and empowerment of businesses.
University Connection
UPTEC acts as a privileged link to the University of Porto, while enhancing synergies with the R&D+i departments and interface institutes of U.Porto.
Mentoring & Business Development
UPTEC offers specialized mentoring — through a selected mentor to each company — that maximizes the potential of each business idea, while ensuring integration into global networks of growth and internationalization opportunities.
Events & Networking
In order to promote interaction between our community, UPTEC organizes more than 150 events per year (e.g. thematic workshops, discussion sessions and informal meetings).
Talent Attraction
In order to facilitate talent attraction, UPTEC has been establishing direct bridges with student groups as well as with national and international Universities. This enables you to disseminate your job offers and to easily access internship programmes.
Facilities
Integration into UPTEC can either be a physical installation — in offices, labs or co-working spaces — or a virtual incubation. Besides, our community obtains access to shared facilities for meetings, events, dining and leisure.
Product Development Lab
UPTEC’s Product Development Lab combines 3D production equipment that enables obtaining models and prototypes.
Slack Channel
The UPTEC channel on Slack is a perfect spot to keep updated with all the events, news and opportunities, as well as connect directly with other entrepreneurs from our community.
