In a globalised world full of economic, social and environmental challenges, the innovative capacity of organisations has become crucial if they are to stand out and grow sustainably. Seeking to address the issues surrounding innovation in micro, small and medium-sized enterprises, the study aimed to understand the innovation context of companies funded by the Small Business Innovation Research Programme (PIPE) in São Carlos/SP, completed between 2013 and 2022, using the science, technology and innovation thematic mapping indicator. The methodology used comprised basic, exploratory research. Data collection procedures were carried out by searching the FAPESP Virtual Library to compile project data and the website of the Brazilian Federal Revenue Service to understand the profile of the companies. The approach used was qualitative, with the aim of relating the data for interpretation. The results of the study showed that São Carlos/SP is an important innovation hub in the state of São Paulo within the scope of the programme, with a significant number of funded projects. Most of the participating companies are micro and small businesses. Company survival is high and it seems that the programme has had a positive impact, including on the emergence of new companies in the municipality. With regard to the theme of the projects, there is a great deal of alignment with the areas of emerging and enabling technologies cited in the Oslo Manual, including tangible products, above all through the manipulation of materials and utilisation of nanoscale properties, and intangible products, such as software and applications. The most representative sectors involve innovations that benefit industry, services, health and biotechnology, which are strategic for the country's economic and social development. The study also showed that information professionals have a very interesting opportunity to work in the innovation management process, through the use of science, technology and innovation indicators.
