Considering that design must be considered as a significant ingredient of the quality of life, committed to both sustainability and human development, Tijuana Innovadora 2012 has dedicated space in the program to promote industrial design as a factor of innovation.

Here, the goal is to encourage competitiveness and to facilitate access to a product development process that links designers from the region with national and international companies. This will serve as a unique platform for local creative talent to make their contributions known and to share experiences with top, internationally-renowned designers in this field that has a significant influence on how we lead our lives.
