IPTI is a leader in social innovation for education in Brazil, with the goal of promoting sustainable socio-economic development through the application of cutting-edge technology and a design thinking process to identify and resolve educational gaps blocking social transformation within the most vulnerable communities.
IPTI began its work of supporting the development of communities in October 2003 in São Paulo, Brazil. In 2009, the organization decided to relocate its headquarters to Santa Luzia do Itanhy, in the state of Sergipe, a municipality with one of the lowest Human Development Indices (HDI) in Brazil, where 65% of its residents live in rural villages and 58% of the population receive government financial assistance. The organization works with local communities to generate solutions that are effective in highly vulnerable environments and have potential to scale. In essence, they look to reapply the effective strategies implemented in Santa Luzia do Itanhy to all communities in need of breaking the cycle of poverty.

These accomplishments have been recognized through receiving awards for their innovation and importance to society, including the 2016 Von Martius Sustainability Award and Banco do Brazil Social Technology Foundation award in 2019.
