- Internship report: Sines tecnopoloPublication . Ostapenko, Maxim; Cândido, CarlosDuring my internship at the Sines Tecnopolo, a business incubator located in Sines, Portugal, I became a part of the team responsible for the Project EIBT-SUDOE. The project ‒ a transnational cooperation for the development of Knowledge-Based Companies (KBC) in south-western Europe (SUDOE) has the following objectives: to promote the development of KBC in the region of SUDOE, to promote innovation through the development of stable networks of cooperation in technology, and to improve sustainability for the protection and preservation of the natural environment in the SUDOE. My individual objectives were to contribute to the development of knowledge on technological entrepreneurship in the Alentejo region of Portugal. My responsibilities included the preparation of a diagnosis on the current situation of the KBCs in Alentejo and a diagnosis of the entrepreneurial environment in the region. This study described the economic context, supportive policies, influencing entities and the current state of the local companies. I collected secondary data from the existing statistical databases and primary data through an on-line survey. Outcomes of the entrepreneurial environment diagnosis and the KBCs diagnosis were passed to all other partners of the EIBT-SUDOE Project. The data collected and the conclusions will be used for the development of a methodological guide that will propose a new model of cooperation between researchers, entrepreneurs, executives, investors, managers of business incubators and public policy makers aimed at supporting innovative entrepreneurship.
