- Brief description of the proposed solution.
- The format of the pre-form may vary depending on the objectives of the promoting organization.
After submission, you will automatically be directed to the complete registration form.

- Technical description of the solution;
- Competitive differences;

- Evidence or validations already carried out (when applicable).
Fill in all mandatory fields clearly and objectively. The more structured and consistent the information, the greater the precision in the evaluation stage.

Depending on the structure of the call, evaluations may consider technical criteria, adherence to the challenge, economic viability and implementation potential.
6. Results and Next Steps
If your proposal is selected, you will be formally notified of the next steps, which may involve:
- Additional presentations;
- Signing of terms or agreements;
- Start of pilot project or experimentation phase;
- Integration with internal areas of the promoting organization.If the proposal is not selected, you can still keep your registration active for future calls.
