Abstract

The aim of this work is to understand how an innovation ecosystem in an emerging country offers opportunities for startups to develop the necessary drivers for their internationalization. For this, it was decided to carry out a case study, which consisted of exploratory research, of a qualitative nature and cross-sectional time, in the ecosystem of Florianópolis in Santa Catarina. Ten organizations were identified, belonging to the innovation ecosystem of Florianópolis, which work promoting internationalization drivers in startups, namely: CELTA; MIDTEC; INSEED; SINOVA - UFSC; ACATE; IMPACT HUB; CERTI; AIESEC; INTERN-Brazil; SEBRAE - SC. Among the main actions developed are: realization of international missions; conferences, meetings and lectures and events with themes of internationalization for the public of startup entrepreneurs; training and capacity building on the subject; generation of international networking for companies; support with financial resources to internationalization projects; and recruitment of foreign interns to assist in internationalization projects.
