Binational Creative Industries Driving the Economy Forward
In the San Diego-Tijuana region, geography and proximity have created complementary characteristics and shared assets in the economy. The region’s Creative Economy has laid a foundation for one-of-a-kind services, opportunities, products, and strengths resulting in further stimulation for innovation in today’s global marketplace. Before the pandemic, the Cali-Baja creative economy had a total annual economic impact in San Diego of $11.1 billion. Investments in cultural infrastructures-such as funding arts and culture programs- have historically been prioritized to enhance tourism in the region.
As a result, San Diego-Tijuana’s design-driven, innovative culture and economy has been granted the bid as the first binational World Design Capital in WDO history. Not only will our region be recognized for the close relationship between our two cities, but also for its ability to mobilize human-centered design to address major global problems like climate change and social inequity through engineering, science, art, architecture and more. In addition, our region consists of a hotspot of notable gastronomic experiences and an internationally renowned brewing scene allowing for partnerships including the opening of the first independent American brewery with a tasting room and full-time brewing operations in Mexico.
Join us on November 17 for a conversation on regional strategies to create more diverse and resilient creative and cultural sectors. Speakers will also share an overview of our region’s most recent designation: World Design Capital 2024 and its exciting programme that will showcase San Diego-Tijuana in a new light and emphasize the ways design can connect us.
