Promoting knowledge, networking, and valuing the best digital innovation initiatives in the country. This is the purpose of the Inovativos Forum, one of the leading events in this field in Brazil, which seeks to recognize these practices, discuss strategies, present success cases, and drive digital transformation in companies of all sizes. This year’s edition will take place on October 16th in São Paulo. Registrations are available at the link: https://foruminovativos.com.br/.
More than just an event, its goal is to offer an immersive experience in the national digital innovation landscape, bringing together C-levels, directors, managers, entrepreneurs, and experts from organizations shaping the future of business. ‘We gather key leaders from the private and public sectors, universities, and industry associations to foster broad, systemic discussions that map challenges and seek pathways and solutions for ecosystem development, making our country even more innovative and competitive. This networking can become a transformative force to drive impactful results, paving the way for an increasingly digital and sustainable future,’ explains Marcos Carvalho, General Director of the Inovativos platform.
In addition to panels and debates with these professionals, the Forum will showcase leading digital innovation success cases, recognizing these efforts and fostering strategic discussions that accelerate this movement across more and more companies. Its program is guided by five crucial analytical pillars for these initiatives: digital technologies, customer centrality, organizational culture and people, business value (ROI), socio-environmental impact, and governance.
This year, the expectation is to gather around 300 leaders and over 30 speakers who will participate in strategic networking moments. Among the speakers in attendance are Leonardo Castilho, CTO and CXO of Grupo Multi; Leonardo Uno, Executive Compliance Technology Manager at Banco do Brasil; Edgard Usuy, Secretary of Science, Technology, and Innovation for the Government of Santa Catarina; Ricardo Lagreca, Legal and Government Relations Director at Mercado Livre; Harold Schultz, Chief AI Officer of Makeone; Júlia Salgado, CFO of Buser; Rafael Tobara, Director of Technology, Digital, Innovation, and CX at Grupo Elfa; Thaise Hagge, Managing Director and CTO of Compra Agora; Hamilton da Silva, Director of the Department of Digital Technology Incentives at MCTI for the Federal Government; and Juliana Campos, Vice President of Operations for Latin America at Worldpay.
On the same day, the Recognition Ceremony of the Inovativos Study and Awards will take place, an initiative organized in partnership with the Getúlio Vargas Foundation (FGV EAESP) and Accenture. In addition to highlighting Brazil’s top innovation initiatives, the winning cases will become part of the Digital Case Library—an open-access repository that disseminates best practices and inspires the entire national innovation ecosystem.
Projects from all applicants will be evaluated by both university experts and the consulting firm. Additionally, a Sector Council, composed of representatives from key entities in our economy—this year including Abcomm, ABES, Abfintechs, ABSS, Abranet, Abrarec, IBEVAR, ACSP, FecomercioSP, Ibrac, and Pagos, among others—will also participate in assessments.
Innovation is not optional but a necessity for survival in today’s market, ensuring companies’ scalability and prosperity. For those looking to stay ahead on this journey, the Inovativos Forum represents a strategic opportunity. ‘We believe that together, we will have a much greater chance of solving challenges and paving the way for a more digital and sustainable future. That’s why we will spare no effort to make this event an ideal moment for decision-makers and leaders who wish to stay updated, create strategic solutions, and learn about the digital innovation cases redefining the market—and to unlock this potential in each of their companies,’ concludes Elis Rosa, Manager of the Inovativos Award.
