Baja California wins NovaGob 2026 award for its Ventanilla Digital platform
The Government of Baja California received the NovaGob México 2026 first‑place award in the Innovation in Digital Transformation category for its Ventanilla Digital platform. The platform, created by the state’s Agencia Digital, integrates the BajaStac technology stack and the Llave BC unified digital identity system, which includes biometric validation, AI‑driven predictions, and support for Mexican Sign Language and indigenous languages. Officials said the system generated an additional 477 million pesos in state revenue, saved more than 60 million pesos by eliminating external software licences, recorded over 2.4 million citizen visits, issued 644 thousand digital driving licences in 2026 and cut processing times by up to 70 percent. Governor Marina del Pilar Ávila Olmeda highlighted the award as proof of the state’s commitment to digital public services, while Agencia Digital Director Gabriel Palombo emphasized the autonomy gained by developing the technology in‑house.
