Analysis of the technological perception in entrepreneurial ideas in the process of pre-incubation at the Feevale Techpark: a view through the technology axis

The development of new innovative projects and processes in Brazil since the introduction of the CERNE (Reference Center for Business Incubation, Centro de Referência para Apoio a Novos Empreendimentos) model aims to provide a platform of solutions to expand the capacity of the technology business incubators of yielding well-succeeded innovative enterprises. At Feevale Techpark, the pre-incubated companies receive advisement in five thematic axes: capital, entrepreneurship, market, management, and technology. This investigation aims to identify the perceptions about the technological status of the business proposals of entrepreneurs participating in the pre-incubation process. This report is based upon the results of five projects that were selected to be analyzed, using the methodology of multiple case studies. The results revealed differences in the scores attributed to some of the technology concepts between those from the auto diagnosis performed by the participants and those from the GUT matrix.
