Baja California digital platform NovaGob award

Entities: Baja California government · NovaGob · Baja California · Ventanilla Digital · Agencia Digital

Overview

In late July 2026, Baja California’s Ventanilla Digital platform was first named a finalist for the NovaGob Excellence awards, joining eleven other projects from Ibero‑America in the “Innovation in Digital Transformation” category. The system, built on the BajaStack infrastructure and using the Llave BC biometric identity service, was highlighted for generating an extra MX 477 million in tax revenue, saving MX 60 million by cutting external software licences, handling over 2.4 million citizen visits and issuing 644 000 digital vehicle‑registration cards, while slashing response times by about 70 percent.

A week later the platform secured first place in the same category, winning the NovaGob México 2026 award. Officials, including Governor Marina del Pilar Ávila Olmeda and Agencia Digital director Gabriel Palombo, cited the same performance metrics, noting the project’s impact on public‑service efficiency and its selection among 12 international finalists from 173 submissions across eight countries.

The award‑winning platform also incorporates AI‑driven predictive tools and supports Mexican Sign Language and indigenous languages, underscoring the state’s push for inclusive, autonomous digital services developed in‑house by the Agencia Digital.
