Through a workflow that combines three methodologies in a feedback loop, the program helps teams improve their product or service while building soft, technical, and technological skills so they can establish themselves as reference startups in technology development within their home regions. Each semester it issues an open call aiming to support between 20 and 30 creative individuals forming multidisciplinary teams.
