-This section provides opportunities for both UTEC students and external individuals. The goal is to mentor them in the field of entrepreneurship, whether they have an idea or already have a business in place. From that point, they meet with experts who guide them through the subsequent steps in the best possible way. If the experts see potential in that idea or business, they assist in securing external funding from sources outside of UTEC to bring that idea to fruition.

If the experts see potential in that idea or business, they assist in securing external funding from sources outside of UTEC to bring that idea to fruition. Recently, many campuses have introduced modern infrastructure, including co-working spaces that students, professors, and, in some cases, community members can use to develop their ideas or network.
 =Encouraging faculty innovation and entrepreneurship=
 This sector is similar to the previous one; the difference lies in that these are already advanced and operational businesses requiring a different type of guidance on how to expand. This expansion includes various areas such as e-commerce, marketing, and social media. Additionally, they are connected with governmental entities or specific financing programs tailored for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).
 =Actively supporting the university technology transfer function=
 In this area, courses are provided for entrepreneurs who wish to learn or enhance their use of the Excel tool, delivered by a renowned professor and accountant, all free of charge. For individuals with a specific idea who want to prototype it, this is made possible through 3D modeling. UTEC boasts state-of-the-art 3D printers and also offers modeling courses, which is innovative in the region. This is because few places in the country provide these types of tools.

 There are many centers throughout the country that belong to UTEC, where the faculty's offices and the classrooms are located. Each center belongs to a subgroup in the university according to its location, this groups are the ITRs. There are currently three well established (although still growing) ITRs, and a fourth one that is still being implemented (athough already working).

 When UTEC was first created its main focus was to decentralize centers of higher education in the country from the capital. At the time all uruguayan students could mostly do if they wanted to pursue a college career was to move to Montevideo, and study there. This drastically changed with the arrival of UTEC. Its first institution was built in the southwest part of the country, Fray Bentos. Since then on, all ITRs built have been following the same path and have been designed to fit the communities they were built around.
-After "Fray Bentos", "Durazno" (ITR- Centro Sur) was created in 2017; and then Rivera's institution (ITR - Norte) was inaugurated.  Nowadays the creation of the new "Minas" center (ITR - East) is planned; UTEC is at continuing growth since its beginning.
+In UTEC centers don't focus on just one area with a fixed list of careers, since its purpose is to provide more access to education, in each building you can have very different careers from different departments.
