FAQ
Questions innovation teams ask
What does uGlobally do for corporates?
We run tailored innovation missions and international startup scouting for corporate innovation teams, and structure the path from a challenge to a first pilot.
How is this different from a scouting database?
Databases give you names. We give you a short list checked against your challenge, and we operate the connection through to a pilot.
What is an innovation mission?
An immersion for your team in one or two innovation hubs, built around your thesis, with booked meetings and a closing workshop that turns what you saw into decisions.
How fast can we reach a first pilot?
Usually a few months for the first cycle. You see fit-checked options in the first weeks, and the pilot timeline depends on your internal approvals.
Which sectors and regions do you cover?
Mostly B2B technology: energy and climate, mobility, agrifood, health, fintech, education, AI and deep tech, with our strongest network in Europe, Latin America and Southeast Asia.
Do you work with companies outside Brazil?
Yes. We work with corporates in Europe, Latin America and Asia, and scout startups in more than 50 countries.
Can you work around a specific event, like Web Summit?
Yes. We map the companies that match your agenda, find the right person to meet and brief your team before you arrive.
Do you sign an NDA?
Yes. We can sign one before the first detailed conversation and only share your challenge with startups in the terms you approve.
What does it cost?
It depends on the scope and on where the work is delivered, so we send a proposal after a first conversation.
