Abstract

The study aims to describe the action of entrepreneur incubators in the internationalization process, from theoretical formulations to the emergence of the incubators and their main findings in the internationalization process, in the period between 1997 and 2011. Faced with this goal, the problem was thus characterized: Could entrepreneurial actions of incubators contribute to the internationalization process of Brazilian small and micro? The methodological procedures were based on an exploratory research by means of qualitative method, which consisted of documentary analysis and secondary data. As a result, it was found out that with respect to the internationalization process, both the entrepreneurial action and the business incubators have a key role in increasing Brazilian exports. However, there is still not a very intense movement by both entrepreneurship and incubators regarding activities targeting for external market, and particularly in today’s world suffering heavy impacts due to Pandemic crises.
