This paper presents the following research question: How can Open Government Data initiatives, in the Brazilian context, contribute to the open innovation process of the public sector? As a theoretical contribution, the following themes were addressed: open government data, innovation, open innovation, coproduction and innovation in the Public Sector. Through a case study, for purpose of data collection, interviews were conducted with actors related to the topic and analysis of technological artifacts (softwares and / or applications). The results are welcome from the opening of the data, an improvement in the development of public policies and a possibility of development of innovative services. A promotion of Hackathons by the government was identified as a strategy to promote coproduction. With regard to incentives for the citizen to co-produce with the government, the results point to the predominance of intangible incentives, such as a satisfaction in contributing to the government.
