Study and mapping of cultural and creative industry ecosystems in Tijuana

Abstract

The Center for International Private Enterprise (CIPE) strengthens democratic institutions worldwide through participation in private enterprises and market reforms. Since its foundation in 1983, CIPE has collaborated with business leaders, public officials, and journalists to support the vital civic organizations for a democratic society. One of the key initiatives is strengthening entrepreneurship ecosystems, and advancing policies for economic development focused on youth and the participation of women. In Latin America, CIPE has collaborated with civic organizations and business groups to develop projects that prompt civic participation. For example, in the last five years, CIPE has supported efforts in Guatemala to strengthen entrepreneurship in the creative industries. In Mexico, CIPE supports several projects. In Tijuana, it established a collaborative agreement with Tijuana Innovadora in 2021 to propel the creative industries and increase youth and women's participation in these industries.
