Resumo: This work aims to verify how Brazilian technology incubators contribute to the internationalization of incubated companies from the point of view of their management. To meet this objective we developed a model that, in addition to supporting this study, could provide a basis for studies of internationalization in small technology-based companies and incubators and assist their management. The model was based on the literature on two relevant areas of work: first, a survey was carried out on the factors influencing the internationalization of enterprises, especially micro and small technology-based companies; second, aspects of the process of incubation of technology ventures were examined, as well as the actions and services provided by incubators. A descriptive study was conducted of 40 technology incubators in Brazil (50% of the total) which met the following criteria: be in effective operation for a period longer than two years, and have graduated at least one company. These questionnaires showed that 40% of the incubators in the sample have formal programs focused on the internationalization of incubation, and 60% have actually started the process of internationalization. The results showed a positive relationship between incubation and internationalization. The survey provided indications of actions and services that are effective for the internationalization of companies.

En este trabajo el objetivo fue verificar cómo las incubadoras tecnológicas brasileñas contribuyen a la internacionalización de las empresas incubadas, desde el punto de vista de los gestores de las incubadoras. Para ello, se desarrolló un modelo que, además de apoyar la investigación, podría servir de base para estudios y acciones de internacionalización de empresas de base tecnológica incubadas. Se desarrolló el modelo a partir de la literatura sobre las dos áreas de interés de la investigación. Se analizaron referencias sobre la internacionalización de empresas, por medio de un estudio de los factores que influyen en su internacionalización, especialmente para micro y pequeñas empresas de base tecnológica. Asimismo, se estudiaron aspectos del proceso de incubación de empresas de tecnología, así como las acciones y los servicios prestados por las incubadoras. Se llevó a cabo un estudio descriptivo con 40 incubadoras tecnológicas brasileñas (50% de la población) y que cumplieron con los siguientes criterios: estar en funcionamiento desde un periodo superior a dos años y tener al menos una empresa graduada. Los cuestionarios mostraron que el 40% de las incubadoras de la muestra poseen un programa formal dirigido a la internacionalización de las empresas incubadas y el 60% de las incubadoras tienen empresas que iniciaron el proceso de internacionalización. Los resultados indicaron una relación positiva entre incubación e internacionalización. La investigación presenta indicaciones sobre acciones y servicios que son eficaces para la internacionalización de las empresas. Neste trabalho, teve-se como propósito verificar como as incubadoras tecnológicas brasileiras contribuem para a internacionalização das empresas incubadas no ponto de vista dos gestores das incubadoras. Para atender a esse propósito, desenvolveu-se um modelo que, além de oferecer suporte à pesquisa, possa servir de base para estudos e ações sobre internacionalização de empresas de base tecnológica incubadas. O modelo foi elaborado a partir da literatura sobre as duas áreas de interesse do trabalho. De um lado, foram abordadas referências sobre internacionalização de empresas, fazendo-se um levantamento sobre os fatores que influenciam sua internacionalização, principalmente micro e pequenas empresas de base tecnológica; de outro, foram estudados aspectos sobre o processo de incubação de empreendimentos tecnológicos, bem como as ações e os serviços disponibilizados pelas incubadoras. A pesquisa descritiva foi realizada com 40 incubadoras tecnológicas brasileiras (50% da população) e que atenderam aos seguintes critérios: estar em efetiva operação há um tempo superior a dois anos e com pelo menos uma empresa graduada. A partir de questionários identificou-se que 40% das incubadoras da amostra possuem programa formal voltado para a internacionalização das incubadas e 60% das incubadoras têm empresas que iniciaram processo de internacionalização. Os resultados apontaram uma relação positiva entre incubação e internacionalização. A pesquisa forneceu indicações de ações e serviços que são efetivos na internacionalização das empresas.
