With registration open through June 15, the Nascer Program launches a new edition to promote innovative ideas in Santa Catarina

Registration is now open for the new edition of the Nascer Program, a free initiative aimed at people who want to turn innovative ideas into businesses. Those interested can register through June 15 via the program’s official website.

Considered one of the main gateways to innovative entrepreneurship in Santa Catarina, the Nascer Program is aimed at students, researchers, professionals, and future entrepreneurs who are in the early stages of developing an innovative solution. The initiative is developed by the Santa Catarina State Foundation for Research and Innovation Support (Fapesc) and the State Secretariat of Science, Technology, and Innovation (SCTI), and is implemented by Sebrae/SC.

The pre-incubation program offers training, mentoring, and specialized guidance to support the development of business models, the validation of value propositions, and the preparation of participants for market challenges.

Throughout the process, selected participants have access to practical content and connections with key players in the innovation ecosystem, strengthening their entrepreneurial skills and increasing their chances of transforming projects into sustainable and scalable ventures.

In recent years, the Nascer Program has contributed to the emergence of new businesses in different regions of Santa Catarina, stimulating innovation, creating opportunities, and developing solutions with the potential for economic and social impact.

Implemented at the Innovation Centers, the program is part of the Government of Santa Catarina’s strategy to strengthen the science, technology, and innovation ecosystem and increase the number of startups across the state.
