List of Winners of the InovaCidade Award 2022

Winning project 1:

Organization: LemobsCity: Niterói - State: RJ

Title of Work: Smart School Feeding

The solution consists of integrated software and application that allow the management of school meals in accordance with PNAE guidelines, including menu management, nutritional per capita, inventory and cost management, control and approval of requested/received orders, acceptability and quality of food, as well as tools for nutritional monitoring of students, which allow recording data on health, allergies, intolerances and other conditions that aid in the planning and execution of food supply in schools. The software automates the various stages of the process, respecting the legal framework of the National School Feeding Program - PNAE, which has more than 80 regulations from nutritional tables to accountability.

The solution was selected to be presented at COP 26, due to its innovative and impactful characteristics, which are directly related to the UN Sustainable Development Goals.

Results and impacts brought by the project:

Today, the solution is already present in more than 60 schools, impacting more than 30 thousand students, which results in a 20% decrease in errors in requests, avoiding food waste and reducing the time to generate the Meal Map, from 4 hours to just 5 minutes.

Another direct impact is on family farming, as the PNAE requires that 30% of the resources allocated to school meals by the Federal Government be reserved for family farming. The system is able to identify the farmers' supply and the needs of each school, automatically generating orders based on menu definitions and inventory control. It automates the distribution of orders for vegetables, fruits, vegetables and eggs, among other family farming products, simplifying the directors' work. Thus, the support of the Education Department to farmers is increased, facilitating the direct purchase of more volumes and varieties of their products.

Winning project 5 :

Organized by: Campos do Jordão City Hall

City: Campos do Jordão - State: São Paulo

Title of Work: Place Branding Campos do Jordão - Highest City in Brazil

In its most elementary concepts, branding work for a physical place is no different than a company. It is a fight for the consumer, where a brand wants to gain market over another. Whether in the incorporation of new consumers in the segment, or winning consumers from your opponents.

What changes in Place Branding is that, not being a brand owned by a company, but by a public entity, therefore, the population, it requires a search for broader concepts and purposes, seeking to find proposals accepted by different groups of citizens. It is not limited to the consumer, in the case of tourists. It must take into account the population, society's representative bodies and stakeholders directly involved in the topic.

The objective of this activity is to allow Campos do Jordão to have control over what is said and thought about itself, to provide more coherence and logic in communication with citizens, to make the tourist destination more attractive than the sum of its offers, to create an atmosphere for welcoming residents of interest, efficiently highlighting the municipality's differentials and, finally, aligning all stakeholders in a single message, gaining effectiveness in communication.

This is a project that seeks to reposition the Campos do Jordão brand based on its DNA, which was identified through extensive research with the various stakeholders of the City. This is innovative work in Brazil and few cities in Brazil have done it as deeply as here. Place Branding goes far beyond a brand proposal as it aims to positively impact the entire production chain of a city with a focus on the citizen, since tourism truly belongs to this citizen. The Project was completed in Nov/2021 and is currently in the execution phase. As it is a process, it should be developed over the next 10 years, with the aim of repositioning the Destination Brand.

Results and impacts brought by the project:

Place Branding, in addition to providing more revenue and increasing the city's GDP, has the purpose of contributing and raising the citizen's sense of belonging, valuing people and the place in line with the concept of livable city.

winning project 7

Organized by: Caraguatatuba City Hall

City: Caraguatatuba - State: SP

Title of Work: Technology of orbital satellites applied in monitoring irregular occupations and control of environmental impacts

Caraguatatuba has been undergoing an intense process of urban growth in recent years, being among the 15 cities with the highest real estate appreciation in the country, according to Exame magazine. Faced with this dynamic, the city hall has the challenge of monitoring and identifying the vectors of urban territorial growth and the conformities of land use change, aiming at the necessary urban planning in the face of social, environmental and economic challenges, thus ensuring sustainability. and quality of life for its citizens. However, this challenge is imposed due to the lack of professionals, adequate tooling and the difficulty of logistics at the inspection sites, making it impossible to carry out a complete on-site monitoring in the different areas of the municipality.

Due to the impossibility of carrying out a complete inspection in the field, which could cover the entire municipality, a history of non-conformities was created, with emphasis on nuclei of irregular housing in environmental, risk and public preservation areas, irregular deforestation, inadequate disposal of rubble and the growth of unlicensed urban buildings.

In order to monitor the surface of the municipality and receive alerts resulting from these identified changes, the city hall implemented a complete monitoring solution with very high resolution satellite images, which identify the emergence of new constructions, invasions, irregular disposal of rubble and degradation of the vegetation in the municipality, warning about the various changes in the territory. This monitoring created fundamental subsidies for a broad understanding of the dynamics of land use and land cover change in the municipality, supporting field inspections in a quick and assertive way, strongly impacting the improvement of the life of the entire population.

Results and impacts brought by the project:

Improvement of the population's quality of life; Reduction of invasions of irregular areas; Reduction of irregular waste disposal; Reduction of Irregular deforestation; Update of the Real Estate Registry.

Organization: City Hall of Caxias do Sul

City: Caxias do Sul - State: RS

Title of Work: The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) as guidelines for Public Management by Indicators

The objective of the project is to equip municipal public management with a dashboard of indicators, based on existing public policies, aligning them with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), of the UN 2030 Agenda, and with ISO 37120 (Sustainable Cities) , ISO 37122 (Smart Cities) and ISO 37123 (Resilient Cities).

The City Hall of Caxias do Sul created a working group, led by the Vice-Mayor and involving career civil servants, with expertise in the elaboration of the Multi-Year Plan (PPA), Budget Guidelines Law (LDO) and Annual Budget Law (LOA) and with specialization in Local Development and SDGs. The group was then legally constituted with the publication of Municipal Decree No. 21,772, on 10/21/2021, which established norms for the definition, monitoring and evaluation of performance indicators and physical goals of government programs and the implementation of the office of data and project management.

The group was responsible for presenting and disseminating the work at City Hall, so that the servers of the various municipal secretariats, together with their secretaries, would point out, among the list of indicators compiled from the SDGs and ISOs, those that directly or indirectly impact the programs developed in each folder. Such indicators were presented in workshops organized by dimensions, namely: Social, Economic, Urban Planning and Environment, Infrastructure and Public and Governance Services. In the workshops, around 1200 indicators were selected by the secretariats. Still, we sought to determine the possible source of data in the City Hall (and if it exists), to feed each indicator.

Results and impacts brought by the project:

The indicators will be made available on an open platform for the municipal public administration to make decisions based on data that contribute not only to the monitoring of priority management actions, but also to actions that impact the sustainable development of the city. The awareness and involvement of career civil servants in the project also has a significant impact on the Municipality, as it contributes to the perpetuity of the project throughout the various administrations. The result of the data office's work will also serve to encourage fundraising and the elaboration, updating and maintenance of projects aligned with existing public policies for the transformation and development of the city.

Organized by: City Hall of Dores do Rio Preto

City: Dores do Rio Preto - State: ES

Job Title: Smart Shopping

The Municipality of Dores do Rio Preto, through the Municipal Department of Agriculture, Social Assistance and Education, has worked intensively so that family farmers have better working conditions, more technical assistance and are able to sell their crops more easily.

It is a small municipality in Espírito Santo, with an estimated population of 6,397 inhabitants and an HDI of 0.654, according to the latest data from the IBGE, with more than half of this population composed of small producers, with 526 families registered in CadÚnico, residents in the rural area of the municipality.

With the Smart Purchases project, the municipality has, since 2017, been improving in government purchases, where it already carries out several actions, including:

PNAE - Acquisition of food from family farming for school meals; Federal PAA / State CDA - Acquisition of food from family farming for vulnerable families; Institutional PAA - Purchase of coffee directly from the producer to serve the city hall; Ticket Fair - Benefit granted to servers for direct purchase from the producer.

We aim to provide new business opportunities for family farmers, as well as encourage family succession and a sense of belonging, bringing good quality food to school meals and also to families in situations of vulnerability.

Results and impacts brought by the project:

All the efforts undertaken to value rural family production listed above have provided unprecedented improvements in the municipality. The strategic alignments between the municipal departments, aiming at smart purchases, impacted socially and economically the local community. Such impacts can be seen in the return of optimism regarding the commercialization of land products, but not only that. Public acquisition, added to the massive strengthening of the free fair was, to a large extent, responsible for this.

Throughout the project, the municipality managed to reach considerable numbers on the ticket-feira, from R$ 90,000.00 in 2020 to R$ 151,000.00 in 2021, with a projection of R$ 175,000.00 for 2022, demonstrating the success of the project. .

winning project 11

Organized by: Municipality of Itapira

City: Itapira - State: SP

Title of Work: Technology facilitating the life of the citizen, promoting economic development and employability

One of Itapira's city halls is to promote economic development, reduce bureaucracy and attract new investments to the municipality. In this way, the municipality invested in a technological solution to reduce bureaucracy and digitize the entire process of issuing municipal operating permits, generating time savings and transparency in the service provided.

Thus, the municipality implemented an electronic approval solution for issuing a business license, simplifying and digitizing the entire process of approval and granting of authorization for the municipality's economic activities.

With the new solution in place, the entire process of issuing a business license can now be carried out directly through the city hall website, avoiding the need for the citizen or his representative (accountant, for example) to attend and deliver physical material to the city hall. In this process, the entire process can still be monitored digitally, and the time for issuing the license was reduced to less than 24 hours (previously, expected in weeks), optimizing resources of the city hall and improving the service provided. This simplification and speed in the process has fostered and encouraged the opening of new ventures and investments in the municipality.

Positive impacts such as the increase in employment and income generation can already be observed, contributing positively to the social and economic improvement of the population, and supporting municipal initiatives to reduce social weaknesses.

Results and impacts brought by the project:



Elimination of paper and bureaucracy in starting a business; Issuance of real estate registration and business license 100% online; Integration with government agencies (Federal Revenue, Post Office, etc.). Reduction of 400% in the time to open a new company; Increase in employment and income for citizens.

winning project 12

Organized by: City Hall of Jaboatão dos Guararapes

City: Jaboatão dos Guararapes - State: PE

Title of Work: Monitoring System (Target Platform) - Management Panel

The Public Administration needs to plan the activities to be carried out and manage the available public resources in a strategic way, making them compatible with the priorities of the community. Thus, it is necessary to have an effective monitoring of the planning, as a way to ensure that the work is performed as expected and that the planned actions are well materialized.

In this context, Jaboatão dos Guararapes developed a management model that enables the planning, execution, monitoring and evaluation of its actions and projects in a systematic way, through the “Monitoring System (Target Platform) - Management Panel”.

In January 2017, there was no technological solution in the municipality for monitoring actions and products. The implementation of the Target Platform provided management with a reliable, simple and agile tool, capable of, in a short time, being integrated into the project monitoring process and making it more dynamic and efficient.

The system is an environment in the form of a web collaboration portal focused on the visualization and consolidated monitoring of strategic management actions, allowing greater monitoring with accurate and easy-to-read information. The system makes it possible to generate reports from different perspectives of the same product to be analyzed, such as a work, which can be monitored from the project design, bidding process, acquisition of materials, personnel and execution. These reports help the manager to have greater control of what was planned, executed and finalized, in addition to being fundamental in decision making, optimizing public resources. The tool has an embedded and integrated BI – Business Intelligence and is licensed in perpetuity to the City Hall.

Results and impacts brought by the project:

This tool provided increased productivity; optimization of financial resources; promotion of transparent, participatory, decentralized and integrated public management; availability of more accurate information for decision making; and meeting schedules.

winning project 13

Organized by: Municipality of Jundiaí

City: Jundiaí - State: SP

Title of Work: Teleinterconsultation as a strategy to expand access to medical specialties and qualify Primary Care in Jundiaí

Jundiaí implemented teleconsultation of neurology and cardiology specialties as a way to achieve greater resolution in PHC, in order to take care of users who were in waiting lines for medical specialties, as well as to provide access, in a timely manner, to exams and treatments. adequate, mitigating the possibility of harm. With the qualification and evaluation of the waiting lines of these specialties, it was possible to sensitize professionals and reduce the absolute number of waiting lines, as well as to provoke changes in the PHC work process, providing greater accountability and effective longitudinal care by the teams.

To become innovative, the care model was remodeled and started to happen between a doctor from the basic unit (UBS) and another specialist doctor on a digital platform, through video call, where cases were discussed and information was exchanged, in order to assist the UBS doctor in solving the case, being a matrix support tool, where it is possible to request exams and evaluate in the light of their specific knowledge, thus offering the UBS doctor subsidies to conduct the case. This type of care speeds up access to complementary exams, including those of high complexity, which the user would only have access to when he was in specialized care, which would generate a longer waiting time and bureaucratization in the process.

Results and impacts brought by the project:

In December 2021, the results obtained over the 6 months of implementation of the teleinterconsultation proposal were evaluated and it could be seen that, despite the difficulties and resistance encountered, there was a considerable decrease in neurology and cardiology waiting lists, reaching the numbers of 893 and 723 (against 2100 and 1000, respectively) of users. It is feasible to say that there was a decrease in the neurology queue by 57% and cardiology by 27%.

During this first implementation process in the PHC health units, an indispensable change in the work process of the teams was also noted, since a need to rethink the logic of care for users was provoked with the professionals, starting to configure a continuous qualification of the waiting lines, which generated critical thinking in the professionals, since the referral to the specialty itself does not take care of the user's health needs, but the monitoring of the case in a timely manner generates care in fact.

Organized by: Londrina City Hall

City: Londrina - State: PR

Title of Work: Purchase Londrina Program - Post-Covid19 Londrina Economic Recovery Strategy

Across Brazil, the public imagination about bids is connected to situations of corruption, bribery and illegitimate interests. In Londrina, the City Hall is the largest public purchaser in the region: from needle to truck, from school uniform to asphalt, almost R$ 300 million/year in purchases of products and services. A lot of resource that, far from negative imagery, is applied in an intelligent and innovative way. By combining transparency and bidding management as a mechanism to stimulate companies - especially small ones - we re-signify the potential of a bidding process. A Smart City is one that applies intelligence to public procurement.

Through Compra Londrina, City Hall teaches any company willing to face bidding disputes. Without shortcuts or tricks, it is possible to learn everything clearly, which attracts small businesses in the city to negotiate products and services. In addition, we simplify the dispute: instead of complex technological tools of electronic trading, which few can understand, the City Hall uses an intuitive technology: video calls with chats (videoconference) - and any small business can dispute a purchase using, even cell. With this, we founded an economic recovery strategy for Londrina, post-Covid19, based on the municipality's own companies and on the existing resources of the City Hall for the purchase of public products and services.

Results and impacts brought by the project:

With the Program, the indicators advanced: in 2020, companies with “local DNA” accounted for 27.3% of the deals closed with the City Hall - R$ 82.6 million. In 2021, local businesses closed BRL 58.8 million with the City Hall. Here, then, is the heart of the initiative: recovering the city with the use of technological resources for businesses that are fully accessible to small businesses - and investing taxes in purchases and services with the local companies that most need to breathe - and generate more jobs, income and taxes in London.

A study quantified how many jobs, taxes and salaries were generated in Londrina through negotiations with companies in the city in 2021:

Creation of 401 jobs; Generation of BRL 8.5 million in salaries for workers at local companies; Payment of BRL 12.4 million in taxes; Creation of 165 new Micro and Small Businesses.

Organized by: City Hall of Santana de Parnaíba

City: Santana de Parnaíba - State: SP

Title of Work: Anna Project - Use of Natural Language Processing to Serve Citizens

Due to the growing demand for calls to the service of the Santana de Parnaíba Health Department, as a result of the search for information regarding COVID-19, SP@rGovLab (Science and Innovation Laboratory of the Municipal Information Technology Department) was called to present alternatives to reduce the number of incoming calls. The proposal presented was to increase the number of communication channels with the departments of the city hall, in a single tool, which would integrate all these bodies of the municipality, without the need for prior training, as it is a tool made available directly to citizens.

For this, artificial intelligence solutions were sought, given that public servants were already overloaded with current means, where natural language processing techniques with Machine Learning were arrived at. Among the challenges of this implementation were the development of the solution with the maximum number of free tools (and the project has no development budget), with a team with a small number of participants, with the widest possible scope, with delivery in a maximum of two weeks .

The challenges were accepted by the SP@rGovLab team, which began with a survey of available solutions for the natural language processing task, using pre-established requirements for choosing the tool. The development took place with free tools from Google Cloud and was carried out in 49 days, between research and development. With this performance, we received recognition from the Google company for the Case of Implementation of Artificial Intelligence in Government.

Results and impacts brought by the project:

More than 60,000 requests were answered from citizens between March 2020 (beginning of the pandemic) and the end of 2021.

Title of Work: CGE - Emergency Management Center: surveillance cameras protect the population

The new Emergency Management Center (CGE) has made São Caetano do Sul one of the most monitored cities in the country. Considering its 161,127 inhabitants (according to the IBGE), the municipality now has a monitoring camera for each group of 457 residents.

With the operation of 352 cameras, the CGE allows all 15 km² of the city to be monitored in just 4 minutes. Operators, military police, municipal civil guards, traffic agents and Civil Defense take turns working six hours a day for monitoring.

The CGE platform is based on four pillars: road monitoring (visualization of streets and avenues); analytical (analysis of the number of vehicles passing through the city, search for license plates, in addition to people); forensics (investigation of occurrences) and OCR (reading of plates, basically acting with the same characteristics of the cameras of Detecta).

The extensive monitoring system, installed in Bairro Cerâmica, was only possible after the installation of more than 240 kilometers of optical fiber, which guarantees an efficient connection, without failures in the transmission of images. The cameras transmit images in high resolution, even at night.

Results and impacts brought by the project:

With the implementation of the Emergency Management Center (CGE), São Caetano became an even safer city. The CGE allows you to monitor all 15 km² of the city in just 4 minutes, monitoring suspicious behavior, accidents and even natural disasters. Crimes have already been elucidated from the CGE images.

The Behavioral Sciences Program aims to promote improvements in municipal services based on evidence from empirical studies of how people make decisions and controlled testing of pilot solutions.

Linked to the macro-agenda of Designing and Improving Public Services of (011).lab, the Program's main initiative is the application of principles of behavioral economics in public services. For this, simple, inexpensive, scalable interventions are designed, which take into account existing behavior drivers in the context of the policy or service being studied. The Program works as follows:

Identifies public challenges with a behavioral component; Prototypes solutions based on insights from behavioral sciences; Tests which behavioral principles work in the local context, adapting to regional and service particularities; Strive for rigor in the methodologies used: conducting randomized controlled experiments; Systematizes project data from immersion to the result, consolidating the project narrative; Implements and scales only the most successful solution with a positive impact; Builds and maintains several bridges with academia and a network of national and international experts.

The Program focuses both on services and actions aimed at citizens and aimed at civil servants of the City of São Paulo.

Results and impacts brought by the project:

One of the projects already completed by the Program was the reduction of IPTU delinquency through the modification of the notice of notification prior to entry to the Municipal Informative Registry (CADIN). Based on the investigation of behavioral barriers, prototypes of new versions of the release were designed, which were then randomly sent to contributors. The objective was to investigate which formatting and wording of the communiqué, based on a behavioral principle, would bring a greater increase in the payment of overdue debts.

After carrying out the tests, an analysis was made of what the increase in revenue could be if the reformulated letter were implemented as a standard by the Secretariat. If the percentage of taxpayers who pay their debts in arrears rises by 4.1 percentage points (effect of the letter with the best result in the tests), then one could expect an increase in revenue of the order of R$ 60 million for the City Hall.

Title of Work: Public-Private Partnership Smart Luz

PPP Smart Luz, the largest in Latin America and one of the largest in the world, impresses with the magnitude of the numbers, such as: a total investment of R$ 1.4 billion, 10 thousand new cameras, 450 thousand LED lamps and 5 thousand free wifi. Added to this is the modernization of the traffic light park and the new sensors that can be installed, which will become possible with the implementation of the 5G network and, consequently, an increase in the use of IoT. It also foresees an increase of approximately 50% in the space of the Rio Operations Center (COR), in relation to the existing area, with investments in state-of-the-art equipment, transforming the COR once again into the largest urban monitoring center in Latin America. . This combination makes it possible to speed up the response time to everyday demands (traffic information, traffic lights, public services, for example) and help in the development of preventive measures for crises, in addition to enabling quick action in emergencies.

Some benefits are directly associated with PPP, such as: greater energy efficiency, savings in government spending, increased security and reduced crime, reduced CO2 emissions and better maintenance. From the point of view of the citizen and the well-being of the city, there are many positive impacts, such as: individual safety, maintenance of public assets, a sense of security and visual comfort, impacts on health, reduction of traffic accidents, better driver experiences, traffic flow and digital inclusion.

More than a radical technological change, the PPP brings a change of meaning: in addition to its basic function of lighting, it also supports the infrastructure for the deployment of 5G network cells. Lighting poles expand their concept and are able to offer a set of services to citizens and to support the management of the city. The intelligent operation of the public lighting park, via remote management, can also lead to significant gains in efficiency and quality in the provision of municipal public service.

Results and impacts brought by the project:

Greater energy efficiency and longer lamp life; Reduction of government spending on lighting; Possibility of dimming luminaires; Possibility of individual metering of energy consumed; Increase in effective safety and citizens' perception of safety; Reduction in crime; Reduction of traffic accidents at night; Possibility of identifying defects in luminaires in real time; Agility in luminaire maintenance services; Reduction of CO2 emissions, from the adoption of sustainable technologies; Possibility of "plug and play" connections of the systems with other services; eReduction of light pollution and higher quality lighting throughout the city.

Title of Work: BH Digital Inclusion Program

The BH Digital Inclusion program is the largest free internet project in Brazil, created by the Computer and Information Company of the Municipality of Belo Horizonte, Prodabel. The program provides for training and qualification in Information Technology - which contributes to the generation of employment and income - and aims to bring free and quality internet to all towns, slums and housing projects in the city, benefiting more than 400,000 residents, of which 45 thousand students from the municipal school system.

For Prodabel and the Municipality of BH, digital inclusion today is no longer a problem of comfort, it is a matter of necessity in the globalized world. Furthermore, those who are trained in technology have the possibility of occupying one of the thousands of vacancies available in the programming universe, which means more empowerment of the population, especially the most needy, and the perspective of reducing emerging problems, such as unemployment. .

Implementation has already started and will run until the end of 2022, with the expansion of 735 km of fiber optic network, the installation of 2,100 new free Wi-Fi points in 218 villages and slums, in addition to nine Reference Centers in Digital Inclusion, one in each region of the city.

A great novelty is the offer of 15,790 new places in training and qualification courses that the program also provides and the donation of computers or mobile devices to households that do not have internet access equipment. These are computers or tablets that were donated to PBH and are being refurbished by Prodabel.

Before installing the equipment, a Prodabel approach team visits all the houses in the village or favela, explaining the project and identifying houses for the installation of the signal distribution device. After installation, various activities are carried out in the favela. One of them is the presence of the Digital Inclusion Trailer, for two weeks, when computer, computer maintenance, drone and programming workshops are held within the mobile unit, which has two classrooms equipped with 20 computers.

Results and impacts brought by the project:

Since it was officially launched in December 2021, the BH Digital Inclusion Program has already collected dozens of reports and testimonies from residents of BH villages and slums, impacted by the program. There are several cases of residents who have already reached the job market, soon after completing and certifying with Prodabel courses.

In a large city, with the high cost of living and the lack of resources for maintaining a home, free internet is a financial relief and the possibility of accessing the benefits of modernity, in particular, in the impact on educational training and access to the world of work.
