Through research and outreach projects, universities contribute to the development of social organizations, chambers, and producers' associations, which results in employment, production, and investment. Outreach, understood as a link between the university and the most vulnerable social sectors, implies creating economic opportunities. In this context, the purpose of this article is to offer a methodology to generate productive projects that may become future micro o small businesses. This methodology is prepared as part of the analysis of the chain production of artisanal fisheries in Isla Venado, Gulf of Nicoya, Costa Rica.
