Competitiveness is the basis of economic progress of a country. Innovation is one of the foundations of competitiveness. Competitiveness Studies aim to evaluate Competitiveness through a set of indicators, which evolved from year to year, aggregating indicators related to Sustainability of Cities.

It will describe the methodology of two important studies on Competitiveness, showing results in Brazil. The growing importance of city sustainability indicators for these studies will be described, highlighting the role of Information and Communication Technology. |
