Açaí represents not only a food of high nutritional value but also a key element of cultural and economic identity for the population of the state of Amapá, Brazil. Despite its relevance, the açaí production chain faces structural challenges, particularly concerning sanitary safety in the fruit processing. The sanitary inspection process of açaí processing units—traditionally carried out manually—presents limitations that hinder traceability, transparency, and efficiency in managing sanitary licensing, which directly affects food safety and consumer trust.

This study aimed to develop a web platform designed to modernize the sanitary inspection of açaí production in the state of Amapá, with a focus on the reality of small producers, known as batedores de açaí. The development of the solution involved mapping the current inspection and commercialization scenario of açaí, designing a digital system for sanitary license management, and producing the operational documentation of the tool.

The research adopted an applied, exploratory, and descriptive approach, using incremental software development methodology, requirement gathering with regulatory agencies, analysis of current sanitary legislation, and data collection through interviews and an online questionnaire directed at açaí consumers, which received 417 valid responses. Results showed that 91.1% of consumers were willing to pay more for açaí from properly licensed establishments, indicating a clear social demand for food safety and transparent information.

The developed platform allows businesses to complete online registration, request inspections, track the licensing process, and obtain a digital quality seal, all accessible through a public portal. The tool also enables consumers to search for licensed establishments, strengthening the principles of traceability and conscious consumption.

The platform was validated by public health professionals from the Superintendence of Health Surveillance of the State of Amapá and the Municipal Health Surveillance Department of Macapá. The validation process indicated high acceptance of the solution, highlighting its ease of use, clarity of information, and alignment with operational needs. It is concluded that the platform has strong potential to transform the sanitary inspection process of the açaí production chain in Amapá, contributing to the strengthening of food safety, the promotion of good sanitary practices, the formalization of local businesses, and the generation of economic, social, and technological impacts in the regional context. The proposed solution also represents a significant contribution to scientific progress in the field of technology development applied to public management and food safety.

Entrepreneurship and Technology Transfer as a short course articulated with the Integrative Project of the National Course Plans of SENAC, focusing on programs within the Management and Business technological axis. The main objective is to develop a 16-hour learning path that fosters essential competencies in innovation and the protection of intangible assets, preparing students for a dynamic and technology-driven labor market. The specific objectives include discussing the relevance of these topics in technical and professional education, identifying courses that address them, even if transversally, and structuring an applicable and replicable pedagogical proposal. The methodology adopted is exploratory and qualitative, based on extensive bibliographic and documentary research, with a temporal scope from 2019 to 2025. The sources used include scientific databases such as Scielo, Google Scholar, CAPES Journals, PROFNIT repositories, and official documents from INPI, MEC, INEP, and SENAC. Empirical data collection was carried out through the analysis of SENAC's National Course Plans and the application of a closed-ended questionnaire to students in the Management and Business courses at SENAC Macapá, using Microsoft Forms and Teams platforms. The investigation included the mapping of 37 technical education institutions in the state of Amapá, revealing that although entrepreneurship is present in a transversal manner, the topics of intellectual property and technology transfer are rarely addressed in a structured way within curricula. As a result, a technical-technological product was developed in the form of a learning path, validated through SWOT analysis and the Business Model Canvas, structured based on active methodologies and the frameworks of WIPO and PROFNIT. The proposal strengthens the innovation ecosystem, promotes student protagonism, and enhances professional training through practical and collaborative experiences. It is concluded that the structured inclusion of these themes in the Integrative Project broadens students' strategic vision and contributes to consolidating a culture of innovation within the context of Brazilian professional education.

The application of digital certification to information recorded on digital media aims to ensure the authenticity, confidentiality, and integrity of such information in light of the inherent instability of data stored in digital formats. Electronic Document Management (EDM) is currently considered the essential framework for planning and implementing documented organizational processes within information systems. It provides the technological infrastructure necessary to enable organizations to achieve better levels of communication, productivity, and quality in document management. Documented organizational processes that are difficult to access or update become obsolete and hinder the development of organizational activities. This work aims to develop a Graduate Certification Software to be used by Higher Education Institutions, in order to fill a gap left by the main academic management systems, particularly regarding the control of the graduation process, as these systems do not offer this feature in their current versions. As a result, this process is often carried out in an outdated manner, using spreadsheets and tables for control. There is currently no other software on the market that performs these operations in a similar or equivalent way. Additionally, the software will allow digitally certified documents to be stored directly in the system’s database, facilitating the search and retrieval of documents. This eliminates the need for physical storage in paper form, folders, or cabinets, since digitally certified documents have the same legal validity as paper documents.

This work aimed to develop an interactive information dashboard to consolidate, organize, and make available data on scientific and technological production in higher education and research institutions, using the Federal University of Amapá (UNIFAP) as a case study. The initiative arose from the institutional need to improve the management, access, and visibility of academic information. The methodology employed included a bibliographic and normative review, technological prospecting of existing solutions, requirements gathering using the Business Model Canvas (BMC) and the Value Proposition Canvas, as well as the technical development of the system and its validation with the requesting party. The final product, the Scientific and Technological Production Dashboard (PPC&T), was presented as a management and transparency tool, using, in its initial version, data exclusively from the Lattes Platform. The results showed that the PPC&T satisfactorily meets the institutional need for centralization and analysis of academic information, offering an intuitive interface, customizable report generation, and strategic indicators. However, the dashboard presents limitations, such as dependence on a single data source and the need for institutional maturity in defining the strategic indicators to be monitored. Despite this, the system's technological architecture was designed to allow future expansions, both in terms of data sources and analytical functionalities. It is concluded that the PPC&T represents an institutional advancement in strengthening a data-driven culture, valuing intellectual property, and promoting organizational innovation. In addition to contributing to UNIFAP's institutional policy, the dashboard has the potential to be replicated in other institutions, reinforcing its relevance in supporting academic management and strengthening innovation ecosystems.

Management by indicators is a management methodology that has been consolidating as a tool for monitoring and measuring the performance of organizations in different contexts. Moreover, the analysis and management through indicators are fundamental to understanding the overall performance of management actions within organizations, both in the public and private sectors. This project was demanded by the Núcleo de Inovação e Transferência de Tecnologia da Universidade Federal do Amapá (NITT/UNIFAP). The demand arose from a need observed in Innovation Centers (NITs) in the Northern Region to improve management and the monitoring of their activity results, especially considering local specificities that directly affect the performance and effectiveness of these centers. The objective of this study was to propose a set of KPIs, considering regional specificities, to measure the results of NITT/UNIFAP in supporting the management of the university’s innovation policy. To achieve this goal, a study was carried out in five stages, which consisted, briefly, of the analysis of the most commonly applied indicators at the national level, their application to the regional context—including data from the last five years of NITT/UNIFAP—and, finally, the validation of the proposed KPIs. Each stage of the methodology was designed in an integrated manner, allowing the results obtained in one phase to feed into the next. This methodological flow ensured the feasibility of execution and consistency throughout the research process. As a result of this project, it is expected that the implementation of management by indicators will contribute to NITT/UNIFAP, establishing itself as a model proposal for other NITs with specific singularities across Brazil.

Given the current global sustainability agenda, the development of the Amazon region through science, technology and innovation guidelines linked to the bioeconomy becomes a relevant topic. And public ICTs gain unique importance in this innovation process, whether due to the accumulated knowledge or the potential to create innovative products or processes. When it comes to innovation policy, despite the potential socioeconomic benefits that following an innovative bioeconomic guideline by public ICTs located in the northern region of Brazil can generate, the MLCTI did not include in its rules any obligation for these entities to establish in its policies a management strategy with this profile. Taking this "gap" as a starting point, this work aims to investigate the feasibility of reformulating the current innovation policy of the Federal Institute of Amapá – IFAP, implementing the bioeconomy as a strategic guideline. The research to be developed has scientific objectives of a descriptive and exploratory nature, with a qualitative and quantitative approach, using documentary research, the application of a semi-structured questionnaire and the holding of workshops with participatory methodology as data collection instruments. Data relating to the feasibility of implementing the bioeconomy as a strategic guideline in IFAP's innovation policy will be analyzed, evaluating the external panorama of the normative framework in which public ICTs in the northern region are located compared to the current internal scenario of the institution itself. In addition, administrative and academic indicators previously defined as having the potential to influence activities within the NIT's jurisdiction will be considered. As a result, it is proposed to prepare a conclusive technical report containing aspects favorable and contrary to future decision-making by IFAP management regarding the implementation of the bioeconomy in its innovation policy in the form of a strategic guideline, and which can also serve of theoretical reference to initiatives of the same content by other public ICTs in the northern region.

The intelligent use of the Amazon's biodiversity resources is the basis of this work, which aimed to disseminate knowledge about the Geographical Indication and Collective Trademark requirements for Amazonian bioeconomy products and services related to agriculture, using the active storytelling methodology. The proposal's deliverables were: a distance learning professional training course (offered on Embrapa's e-Campo platform), aimed at the scientific, academic and rural extension communities, as well as associations of producers and extractors; and a videocast, as a delivery of didactic material (made available on Embrapa's YouTube channel), which was demonstrated to a group of people during Field Day on the Reniva Network in the State of Amapá, which brought together producers, extension workers, businesspeople and authorities at the Asa Branca Farm in the municipality of Tartarugualzinho/AP, as well as a group of researchers from Embrapa. Both were used as instruments for transferring technology. Both were used as tools for technology transfer. It is also hoped that this work will provide an understanding of the relationship between teaching and learning through communication mediation, as well as encouraging the use of the active storytelling methodological proposal, in order to produce innovative and more assertive communication materials, capable of stimulating and promoting intellectual property and technology transfer actions for innovation. Given the above, this work is an effort to associate communication with intellectual property, based on a theme of strong appeal and relevance today, which is the bioeconomy, considered one of the main challenges for innovation in the Amazon.

This work aims to be a training tool on the teaching of intellectual property with a focus on trademark law, aimed at students at UNIFAP (Oiapoque Binational Campus) and IFAP (Advanced Campus). This is a course that aims to contribute to the dissemination of the culture of intellectual property through training for students on the relevance and benefits arising from trademark registration at the National Institute of Intellectual Property. To achieve this objective, the following path was developed: initially, a documentary survey was carried out regarding the curricular components of the pedagogical plans distributed by technical courses and undergraduate courses within the scope of UNIFAP and IFAP. At this stage, the research was directed at these institutions to understand the offerings of disciplines that address the teaching of intellectual property. To obtain the desired result, the terms “intellectual property”, “IP” and “trademark law” were used in the act of researching and analyzing the curricular matrix of the courses. Regarding the methodological aspects, the research method was applied through a quantitative-qualitative analysis, through bibliographic, exploratory and documentary research, starting with a bibliographic survey, followed by a targeted documentary prospection on IP teaching in the courses offered at IFAP (Oiapoque Campus) and UNIFAP (Binational Campus) and, based on the analysis of official data presented through institutional documents, we moved on to the final phase, which was the preparation of teaching materials and application of training to academics. Given the results of the research, it was found that, in relation to IP teaching in these institutions, the topic is still addressed in an incipient way. As a result of the execution of this project, a training course in the area of intellectual property was created, offered to the academic community of both institutions, with the provision of teaching materials, as well as the development of an exclusive booklet containing the self-explanatory steps to obtain the registration of the brand at INPI, in addition to the production of a scientific article on the importance of teaching IP and trademarks, published in an A4 scientific journal.

Neurodegenerative diseases, such as Parkinson's and Alzheimer's, represent a growing challenge for global public health. Estimates from the World Health Organization (WHO, 2023) indicate that millions of people are affected by these conditions. Effective management of these diseases requires technological innovations that can improve monitoring and support for patients. This project aims to develop a web platform that allows the monitoring and evolution of people with Parkinson's and Alzheimer's. The platform will offer a differentiator: the ability to be used by any project with multidisciplinary teams to monitor patients through validated health instruments, which can be integrated even if absent in the initial scope. This flexibility makes the platform a comprehensive solution for monitoring various health conditions. Requirements collection will be carried out through interviews with interested parties, and based on these requirements, the application's Business Model Canvas will be modeled. Once the application context is defined, use cases and the data model will be created. Development tasks will be organized on a Kanban board and managed using the agile Scrum method, aiming for incremental and efficient deliveries. During development, three main deliverables will be made: a data entry tool, a patient monitoring module and the generation of data output reports. The platform has the potential to improve the management of patient monitoring information and personalize treatments. The platform will be subject to validation with applicants. The software will be registered and a user manual will be produced in PDF format.
