Broward County Innovation Unit
Here in Broward County, Innovation is in our DNA, embedded in our programs, processes, and services to the residents, visitors, and businesses of South Florida. The Broward County Innovation Unit was established to develop and implement cutting edge data analysis and visualization solutions. This information can then be used to create dynamic reports and dashboards with real-time, interactive representations of specific datasets in a rapidly changing environment. The Innovation Unit also partners with agencies and organizations to promote innovation and leverage technology advances for all who live, learn, work, and play in Broward County.

Innovation Unit receives three National Association of Counties (NACo) 2024 Achievement Awards!
Broward County's Innovation Unit is honored to be the recipient of three National Association of Counties (NACo) 2024 Achievement Awards for the "Broward County Citizen Data Portal: Your Gateway to Open Government," "Climate Resilience Flooding and Weather Sensor Data Visualization" and "3D Animated Video of Sales Surtax Transportation Investments." The NACo Achievement Awards program recognizes innovative county government programs that strengthen services for residents and are effectively communicated and relevant to the community. The Broward County Citizen Data Portal is a single point of access for anyone seeking to learn more about their community and government through the use of various data-visualization tools. The Climate Resilience Dashboards were created to review data from previous storms and flooding events to help plan, prepare for, and prevent damage to property and potential injury or loss of life to Broward County residents and visitors. The 3D Animated Video of Sales Surtax Transportation Investments was a collaboration between Broward County's Mobility Advancement Program Administration and Innovation Unit to create an animated 3D video to educate citizens on how sales surtax funding was being used to manage traffic congestion with innovative solutions.
