IDINA – Non-Authoritative Inclusive Digital Identity

1st Place

The idea “IDINA – Non-Authoritative Inclusive Digital Identity” was the winning idea. The objective of this digital tool is to allow credit in two cities, even in countries that do not have the infrastructure, giving the necessary authority to credible institutions, such as schools, health institutions, local authorities, etc., to certify the birth and living conditions of citizens from events such as vaccination or admission to the school.

AlCeBlock – Artificial Intelligence Certification through the Blockchain

2nd Place

It proposes or develops a platform, supported by blockchain, which allows for promoting trust in applications based on Artificial Intelligence through its certification. With this solution, it will be possible to interpret, track and audit the forecasts of two “intelligent” models used in areas such as autonomous driving or computer diagnostics.

HIGHLIGHT

3rd Place

It focuses on nanotechnology with the development of ink that allows manipulating light, giving the unique possibility of optical variation visible or invisible to the human eye. According to the breeders, this product could benefit the anti-counterfeiting market, such as applying to all types of documents and security seals.

ATLAS – Autonomous Transport for Logistic Automatic System

1st Place

“ATLAS – Autonomous Transport for Logistic Automatic System” was the winning idea of the IN3+ Award, which proposed the creation of a system based on collaborative robotics and industry 4.0. Developed in partnership with the UNINOVA Research Center, of the NOVA School of Science and Technology | FCT NOVA aims to improve internal logistics and issuance of citizen cards and the Portuguese electronic passport.

The ideas that won 2nd and 3rd place were, respectively, “Manufacture of Commemorative Coins through Additive Technologies”, presented by a team of researchers from the Institute of Mechanical Engineering of Instituto Superior Técnico, and “BlockCarPollution – Potenciar o Use of Collective and Shared Transport Using Blockchain”, presented by elements from the University of Aveiro and the company Ubiwhere.

“Papel Secreto – An Innovative and Low-Cost Approach” was the winning idea of the IN3+ Prize, developed by the team coordinated by researchers Elvira Fortunato and Rodrigo Martins, from NOVA School of Science and Technology | FCT NOVA. Currently, this project already has its own brand – ALMASCIENCE, Beyond Paper – and several ongoing initiatives in the health, marketing, and sustainability sectors.

Second place was awarded to the idea “Coinage of Totally or Partially Transparent Coins” from the Institute of Mechanical Engineering of Instituto Superior Técnico.

An honorable mention was given to the idea “Reduction of Bacterial Colonization in Metallic Coin”, presented by a team of researchers composed of Telmo Santos, from NOVA School of Science and Technology | FCT NOVA, Carla Carvalho, from the Institute of Bioengineering and Biosciences at Instituto Superior Técnico, and Maria José Carvalho, from the Center for Ecology, Evolution and Environmental Changes at the Faculty of Sciences of the University of Lisbon.
