The Brazilian government has stimulated the creation of Technological Parks and Business Incubators to encourage innovation and regional and national development. To this purpose the state works together with private companies, stimulating the development of new products and services and the training of people. However, the longevity and success of these companies, and consequently their respective Parks and Incubators, depends on the scope of competitive advantage, which is built through the combination of the company's resources and capabilities, and the definition of the strategies that align those resources and capabilities with the opportunities and threats of the environment. In this context, innovation can help companies achieve this competitive advantage, despite the uncertainty, complexity and conflicts involved. Innovation can also be driven by the interaction and connectivity present in the Parks and Incubators environments. Therefore, the objective of this study was to verify how innovation leads to the reach of competitive advantage. With this purpose, a multiple case study was carried out with four companies created in two Technological Parks and Incubators located in the southern region of Brazil. The qualitative data, collected through semi-structured interviews with the partners of the companies, were analyzed by the technique of content analysis, through its codification and categorization. A cross-sectional study was also carried out to identify the main similarities and/or differences among the companies surveyed. Among the main results of the study, we highlight the knowledge and experience of the partners as a source of competitive advantage of the companies, and the characteristics of the business model adopted that have contributed to capture the benefits of innovation.
