| Abstract | |
Initially technology parks have been created in a spontaneous way. Subsequently, the creation of parks is now done on a planned and structured way. In both cases the goal is to promote the support for the creation of technology-based companies (EBTs) and its interaction with universities. With this, these environments promote the economic and technological development of the regions in which they are inserted. In such environments micro, small, medium and large companies, or part of it, set up. In that sense, this research proposed to investigate and analyze which factors must be present in technology parks in order to become attractive for the installation of innovative companies. For that, the factors of location were identified, and were grouped in a questionnaire with closed questions, and later submitted to the companies located in four technology parks in operation in Brazil, namely: Sergipe Technological Park (SergipeTec), located in Aracaju / Sergipe; Technological Park Vale do Sinos, in Campo Bom / Rio Grande do Sul; Scientific and Technological Park of PUCRS (TECNOPUC) in Porto Alegre / Rio Grande do Sul; and Porto Digital, in Recife / Pernambuco. From this, an average comparison was made between the importance in degree and frequency of use attributed to each of the factors listed in the location in the selfadministered questionnaire. The results were summarized in a descriptive analysis from where it could be observed that the five most important factors which may influence a companys location decision are related to financial support articulated by the park. It was applied a statystic method of multivarieted analysis, factorial analysis on the variety of frequency of use, in a way that it could be identified 7 latent factors which influence in the companys decision, to be mentioned: acessibility to capital sources, partnership with universities, motion and leisure facilities, infrastructure and common services, besides municipal incentive and restaurants. This research can be used by institutions that are either under implementation of technology parks as for, by those that have already been managing parks in operation in the attraction of innovative business and consequent improvement of the results.
