"We are dedicated to utilizing 5.0 technology to find sustainable and intelligent solutions. Our work is aligned with the 17 United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, ensuring a more sustainable and equitable future," says Guilherme Post Sabin, founder of OpenScience.


Next Steps


OpenScience will continue to innovate and collaborate with global partners to address the challenges of food safety. With the return from the symposium, the company is more motivated than ever to advance its mission of creating technologies that benefit society.


We invite everyone to join us on this journey. Together, we can harness the power of science to create a better world for all.

Industry Innovations


Industry Innovations


In addition to presentations at the symposium, OpenScience is also active on several fronts to promote advancements in information management and decision-making in the industry. Our extensive experience in large industrial projects enables us to develop tools for new genetic varieties, data-driven management, and rigorous quality control. Our solutions are fast, user-friendly, and adapted to industrial complexity, being interactive and simple for non-specialist professionals.


With 5.0 technologies such as artificial intelligence, big data, and IoT, we are driving product and market development. Additionally, our technological tools help producers produce more and better, increasing the efficiency and sustainability of agricultural operations. OpenScience highlights its role in delivering value on multiple fronts, including food production, food safety, and transparency. Our analytical solutions not only detect fraud but also provide critical business intelligence to improve the efficiency, quality, and sustainability of operations. The technologies developed by OpenScience enable greater transparency throughout the production chain, benefiting producers, consumers, and regulators.


OpenScience aligns with cooperatives, workers' unions, the food industry, and state institutions, which are essential to ensuring the common good.


Acknowledgements


We would like to express our sincere thanks to the IAEA for the funding and the opportunity to participate in discussions on food fraud. We thank Itamaraty for their unconditional support, our academic collaborations with UFPR, UFRGS, and UNICAMP, and MAPA for providing a unique engagement opportunity. Finally, I personally thank IICA for the opportunity to work on this highly relevant state strategy topic.
