INPI Received the Follett Award for Humanized Management in Portugal, International Recognition for Valuing People, Promoting Integration, Internal Communication, Innovation, and Quality of Life Programs

INPI (National Institute of Industrial Property) gained international recognition by receiving the Follett Award for Humanized Management, presented on September 26th in the city of Covilhã, Portugal, according to a report published.

This award honors institutions that manage to transform work routines into experiences focused on human development.

To achieve this recognition, the institute demonstrated how it has invested in integration, innovation, quality of life, and internal communication.

Internal Communication as an Essential Component at INPI

Among the points presented by INPI, internal communication proved to be decisive.

Reports published on the intranet highlighted achievements, events, and daily activities, allowing employees to follow progress clearly and accessibly. This type of action strengthens the sense of belonging and creates bonds between different areas of the institution.

In addition to the news shared, INPI promoted integration meetings and gatherings between directorates. This initiative helped to align purposes and bring employees closer together, even in a setting marked by hybrid work.

Innovation and Collective Participation at INPI

Another highlight was how INPI structured policies aimed at people management and innovation. The entire process was built participatively, involving employees at different stages.

This model allowed each professional to feel part of the decisions that directly affect their work routine.

The Employee Meeting, held in May, was an example of this openness. The initiative provided space to share ideas, exchange experiences, and reinforce the importance of collaboration.

This practice of participatory innovation has become a differentiator in international recognition.

Quality of Life Programs Strengthen INPI

INPI also highlighted the Vita Program, aimed at the physical and mental well-being of employees. The initiative includes actions related to health, promoting balance in daily work life.

Additionally, the My Legacy project was created to honor the trajectory of professionals, valuing individual stories and achievements.

These programs helped to demonstrate how INPI has sought results without neglecting care for people. This combination of quality of life and recognition of employees’ dedication was fundamental to winning the Follett Award.

Quality of Life Programs Strengthen INPI

Seven world powers including the US, China, and Russia are spending €22 billion on a reactor in the south of France that aims to confine plasma at 150 million degrees Celsius, ten times the temperature of the Sun’s core, using a magnetic field capable of lifting an entire aircraft carrier.

While Brazil has been discussing bullet trains for 16 years, China delivers 5 new high-speed lines in 2026, surpasses 50,000 km of HSR, and moves 1 billion passengers in a single year.

Elon Musk’s internet comes to mobile: Starlink technology connects smartphones without an antenna via satellite, works even without carrier signal, already costs just US$10 extra in the US, and could arrive in Brazil as an included benefit.

With a wingspan of 152 meters, 76 tires, and a capacity to carry 1,270 tons, the Boeing Pelican was the giant “flying ship” that promised to cross oceans close to the water on an invisible air cushion beneath its wings.

While countries spend billions to draw water from the sea, a Nobel-winning scientist creates a container-sized machine that extracts up to 1,000 liters per day from dry air and uses ultrasound to release water in minutes, even in the middle of the desert.

Belgium will sink 23 giant concrete caissons, each weighing 22,000 tons, in the North Sea to build the world’s first artificial energy island 45 km off the coast, forming offshore electrical walls.

The United Kingdom removed approximately 1.8 million cubic meters of sand from the seabed and is depositing it all on 6 kilometers of beaches in Norfolk, in a mega-operation to curb erosion, protect coastal villages, and shield a vital gas terminal against the encroaching Atlantic.

Changan and Chery promise mass production of solid-state batteries with 1,500 kilometers of range in 2027 while Tesla still uses lithium and Toyota only promises to deliver theirs in 2028.

Mobile bridges in the Netherlands transform streets into passages for boats and reveal how sensors, counterweights, and operators make tons of steel move out of the way without disrupting the routine of cyclists, cars, pedestrians, and historic canals in cities where water also functions as a road.

With propellers spinning at 3,000 rpm and generating sound waves so intense they incapacitated mechanics on the ground, the Republic XF-84H was the loudest conventional aircraft ever built, and the USAF canceled the project after tests made it impossible to work at the airfield.

Braskem’s new generation tankers will cross over 5,500 nautical miles between the U.S. and Brazil, reduce CO₂ emissions by 30%, and transport naphtha with modern engines, an optimized hull, and a focus on at-sea efficiency on a strategic route.

How much it costs to build a house in 2026 surprises those who dream of building their own home, because even a low-standard one already requires more than R$ 120 thousand.

While cities suffocate with smoke and fields burn worthless straw, India transforms sugarcane bagasse, non-recyclable plastic, and agricultural residue into bricks to build cheaper rural housing.

With 50 tons of plastic waste, a 30-meter bridge was assembled over a river in Scotland. It seems like an ordinary construction, but it doesn’t use traditional wood or steel and can even be disassembled.

Without concrete, without traditional cleaning, and without common separation, a block made of recycled plastic transforms problematic waste into a rigid piece for walls and structures.

With 1,500 plastic bottles and bamboo, a simple, triangular house transforms into an emergency shelter, born from urban waste, can be assembled collectively, and can be an option in remote areas and humanitarian crises.

With 6,200 discarded toys, a 357 m² house in India transforms children’s plastic waste and compressed earth into a wall, a colorful facade, and a curious attraction for neighborhood children.
