One of the characteristics our city has is the high education level that certifies several of our universities with a grade of excellence. This reveals a horizon of competitiveness among other prestigious universities in the country.

The focus of our thoughts when we reflect upon Education as a subject in Tijuana Innovadora begins with a premise: All the knowledge, all the people, and it narrows everything down to the current archiving systems and the access we have achieved towards universal knowledge; the capacity of the education systems in Mexico will be analyzed, particularly regarding the Tijuana – San Diego region to gain even more access to this vast universal knowledge.
