Nowadays, the accelerator performs certain activities under selection processes such as PreIncUVa, where students have the opportunity to discover a problem and work around it to develop a Business Model, and IncUVA which is an incubation program that allows students to search for the product-market fit of their solution.

<span style="font-family:tahoma,geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size: small"><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0)"> Students from different majors spend a whole semester working as a team, putting their ingenuity into action and exploring these real-world problems that the teachers proposed to research, design, prototype and solve them with innovative solutions, as the name itself of the course, in an interdisciplinary way. These projects need to be developed following design thinking, user-centered design, and research methodologies. At the end of the semester, there is a contest for all the students enrolled in the course to demonstrate the creative process and the progress as teamwork that is the final result of their project. Finally, there is a contest, called Demo Day UTEC, where the most outstanding projects earn funds to be carried on and enter the market.
