The selection of companies for incubation generates a responsibility to keep them in place for up to three years. This implies an investment in the medium to long term by the public and private initiative, and making mistakes in this selection have hard consequences. Thus, the wrong selection of a project will involve the loss of investment. On the other hand, no choice a promising project has serious consequences for regional and economic development. In this context the incubators face difficulties in deciding which companies should be incubated. This occurs due to the high number of alternatives to be considered in the face of multiple criteria. Considering this, the present paper reports the experimental application of the method PROMETHEE II to support the decision maker in selecting projects in an incubator of Pernambuco, Brazil, in 2012. The use of the multicriteria method allowed the structuring of a model for project selection for incubation, providing to the decision maker a recommendation that helped him in making the final decision.
