INNOVATION

Innovation in Santos is driven by the need to balance port and urban development with coastal sustainability and surf culture. The city excels in managing complex maritime infrastructure and implementing social development models. A pillar of innovation is the close collaboration with academic institutions, such as the University of Santos (UNISANTOS), to develop studies and projects focused on environmental monitoring, water quality, and beach garden sustainability. The city is also a pioneer in surf projects that use technology to track the social impact of their sports and inclusion programs.
