Entrepreneurship

We bring entrepreneurship into the classroom so that students can develop independence, creativity, and critical thinking skills.

We facilitate connections between companies and students so that together they can develop solutions that make a real difference.

Entrepreneurship isn't just about starting businesses; it's about learning to view the world with a sense of responsibility.

We create experiences that help answer the big questions: Who am I? What can I contribute? What does the world need from me?

Entrepreneurship begins with a keen eye and a service-oriented attitude.

We design programs that help you explore, listen, create, and grow by providing you with tools, mentors, training, and spaces where you can explore, prototype, and launch projects that address real-world needs. We nurture entrepreneurs who view their work as a service to society, not merely as a pursuit of personal gain.

The entrepreneurial journey is both an individual and a collective learning process. It is individual because we support students as they navigate their doubts, make decisions, and learn; and it is collective because, throughout the process, we learn from one another across generations to foster the creation of solutions that address the world’s needs.

At UFV, we view entrepreneurship as a journey undertaken as a community. This community includes students, faculty, researchers, administrative and support staff, administrators, and chaplains. We are all part of the same ecosystem, and we can all learn, contribute ideas, and help others grow.

We believe in collaborative learning, mutual support, and building purpose-driven networks. This diversity of people and perspectives is what gives our entrepreneurial ecosystem a truly transformative impact.

At UFV, we believe that technology is a tool for improving people’s lives and contributing to the common good. That is why we train entrepreneurs who develop not only technological projects, but also scientific and social initiatives, always with a human-centered approach. We promote the responsible and ethical use of technology in every project, reflecting on how the decisions we make affect human dignity, emotional well-being, and interpersonal relationships.

We promote solutions designed for everyone: accessible, inclusive, and tailored to different social and cultural contexts, with a special focus on those who need them most.

Our goal is to make a real impact on society: to train entrepreneurs who not only create technology, but also help people and communities use it freely, responsibly, and positively.
