Abstract

This study identifies and systematizes the Distrito Federal (DF) innovation ecosystem, in Brazil, highlighting the role of the Fundação de Apoio à Pesquisa do Distrito Federal (FAP-DF) to the development of innovative ventures (startups and new technology-based firms). The study is based on qualitative documentary and descriptive research, considering the beneficial factors for development proposed by Stam and Van de Ven (2019). The results demonstrate a promising expansion of the DF ecosystem, and the role of FAP-DF evidenced in the institutional and resources contexts by facilitating the developing of these ventures through institutional support for the dissemination of innovation, resources for qualification in RD&I and financial investments.
