INTELI
BRAZIL'S FIRST PROJECT-BASED TECH UNIVERSITY
WHO WE ARE
We are a nonprofit university, founded by leaders of the Brazilian private sector with the mission of developing future leaders who will transform Brazil through technology.
OUR VISION
To be the best Institute of Technology in Latin America with a project-based curriculum that combines technology, business, and leadership skills.
TEACHING METHODOLOGY
We don’t just teach technology—we teach how to lead with it. Our PBL (project-based learning) approach bridges the gap between theory and practice through a multidisciplinary curriculum: 70% computing, 20% business, and 10% leadership.
A dynamic career center that supports students from day one by:
Soft skills development to improve communication and teamwork
Internship and career workshops to prepare for the job market
Mental Health Support for Student Well-Being
International readiness programs for global career opportunities
Entrepreneurship Center
The center helps students turn their ideas into successful startups by providing mentorship, connections to investors, and incubation.

“Before the exchange program, the world seemed much larger, and certain opportunities felt out of reach. Driven by curiosity, I sought out this experience, which led me to technology events, startups, and new ecosystems around the globe. Now, the world feels more accessible, and I’ve realized that a thirst for knowledge can transform not only a career but also one’s entire outlook on life.”
