Wylinka is a nonprofit organization that transforms scientific knowledge into innovation with real socioeconomic and environmental impact. We work to strengthen the innovation ecosystem in Brazil, coordinating and supporting public and private institutions in creating mechanisms that connect science, technology, and the market.

We are pioneers in the country in working with deep tech (science- and technology-based businesses with high transformative potential) and have one of the highest levels of specialization in this field in Brazil.

Our work involves developing methodologies, customized programs, project acceleration, mentoring, diagnostics, events, and strategic consulting. Over the years, we have generated impact in different regions of the country, contributing to institutional strengthening, regional innovation, and the advancement of Brazil's technology base.

Founded in 2012, Wylinka was created with the purpose of promoting scientific and technological innovation as a driver of sustainable economic development.

Yes, it's a nonprofit organization dedicated to innovation and science as levers of social and economic impact. Its core purpose is to foster the emergence of technology-based businesses in the country, valuing the connection between science, academia, public policy, and the market.

As a nonprofit organization, Wylinka is supported by agreements, donations, institutional partnerships, and collaborative programs. Support can be provided through financial donations (see the "how to donate" section of the website), project partnerships, or participation in its programs.

Deep techs (or “deep technologies”) are startups that rely on science and robust research to develop solutions capable of tackling major challenges—such as inclusive healthcare or a low-carbon economy.

One of Wylinka's activities involves working alongside institutional partners (public and private) to create, implement, and strengthen programs focused on science- and technology-based innovation. We develop methodologies, structure initiatives, and support ecosystems that foster deep tech innovation in Brazil.

Our support is segmented according to the profile of the audiences we work with:

• Researchers: We train entrepreneurs, assisting in the transition from scientific research to the market, structuring spin-offs, and connecting science to innovation opportunities.
• Deep tech entrepreneurs: We design programs that offer diagnosis, mentoring, action plans, connections with investors, and access to strategic communities.
• Public managers: We support the formulation and implementation of mission-driven public policies, as well as the creation of technology districts and initiatives to foster regional innovation ecosystems.
• Donors and philanthropic partners: We receive donations to boost Brazil's socioeconomic and environmental development by supporting scientific and technological innovation initiatives in various regions of the country. We operate through institutional cooperation, with transparency, accountability, and opportunities for active participation in the programs we support.

How to participate: The programs we run are open through specific calls, usually in partnership with other institutions. To learn about opportunities, follow our official channels and stay tuned for application deadlines.

It's a traveling event organized by Wylinka and Caos Focado, focusing on regional development. It brings together experts, startups, public institutions, and scientists to discuss scientific innovation and create practical connections with all stakeholders.

It's an initiative launched by Wylinka, which aims to mobilize all stakeholders in the ecosystem (government, universities, startups, investors) to promote the development of deep tech in Brazil. It includes a manifesto with practical proposals, areas of action, and calls for collective collaboration. 

Wylinka operates as a think tank by producing research, studies, and manifestos, and as a think-do by implementing concrete programs, accelerators, and ecosystem interventions. In other words, it thinks and does.

Wylinka conducts diagnostics, studies, mentoring, acceleration, and local policy design, customized to the institution. To initiate a partnership, contact them by email or phone to express your institutional interest and align on the scope.
