The award in the \u201cMajor Company\u201d category went to Braskem, from S\u00e3o Paulo, for its research into and development of biopolymers focused on polyethylene made out of sugarcane (<em>see <\/em>Pesquisa FAPESP <em>issues 142 and 177<\/em>). The \u201cSmall Company\u201d winner was Reason, from Santa Catarina. The firm develops solutions for power transmission networks and industrial electrical equipment. The \u201cMedium-sized Company\u201d laureate was Scitech, from Goi\u00e1s. It specializes in making medical devices and components, such as the first Brazilian-made stent. This is a metal device that corrects and treats the narrowing of arteries (<em>see <\/em>Pesquisa FAPESP <em>issue 173<\/em>). In the \u201cScientific and Technological Institutions\u201d category, the winner was the IT Center of the Federal University of Pernambuco for its research into several areas of computer science, in partnership with other institutions and companies. The \u201cSocial Technology\u201d trophy was awarded to the Association of the Agricultural Extraction Workers on the Island of Cinzas, in Amap\u00e1. They developed a trap that only catches large shrimp while releasing the smaller ones, thus helping to keep up the natural inventory of these crustaceans. The last category concerned \u201cInnovative Inventors.! Here, the prize went to the physicist Vladimir Jesus Trava Airoldi, a researcher at Inpe (the National Institute of Space Research) in S\u00e3o Jos\u00e9 dos Campos (state of S\u00e3o Paulo), for his development of a synthetic diamond tip for dental drills.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The winners of the 14th Finep Technological Innovation Prize","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_exactmetrics_skip_tracking":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_active":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_note":"","_exactmetrics_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[168],"tags":[],"coauthors":[785],"class_list":["post-11479","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-technoscience"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11479","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/6"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=11479"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11479\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=11479"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=11479"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=11479"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=11479"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
