Business Forum to Support the City of São Paulo
The Business Forum to Support the City of São Paulo is an initiative of the Institute Ethos and the Network Our São Paulo (in Portuguese, Rede Nossa São Paulo), which seeks to be a venue for businessmen to meet with representatives of civil society organizations, educational institutions and the public sector, in order to discuss and design proposals aimed at the sustainable development of the city, with a view on improving the population's quality of life. By doing so, the forum seeks to address the lack of synchrony between the actions of the private sector, civil society and the government. The forum has been held several times and is organized into two working groups: the mobilization group for children and teenagers and the working group on solid waste.

Formalization: is the innovation embedded in the constitution or legislation, in an administrative act, or not formalized at all?
Frequency: how often does the innovation take place: only once, sporadically, or is it permanent or regular?
Mode of Selection of Participants: is the innovation open to all participants, access is restricted to some kind of condition, or both methods apply?
Type of participants: those who participate are individual citizens, civil society organizations, private stakeholders or a combination of those?
Decisiveness: does the innovation takes binding, non-binding or no decision at all?
Co-governance: is there involvement of the government in the process or not?
