The Commercial incubator is a response to the perceived demands from the university and the need to have a structure close to knowledge sources that can bring those projects originated from academia to the business reality. This will contribute to the development of the innovation system, as it increases the level of university-business cooperation.

This Incubator is intended as support for business initiatives characterised by a high technological component, allowing its location in an environment close to the knowledge generation and the research know-how of the university; it will therefore take advantage of the environment's capabilities generating synergies from bringing the fields of science-technology and business together.
