Impact from the perspective of the creative industries
A creative ecosystem
At Ciudad del Saber, creative industries occupy a central place in our vision of development and innovation. Ranging from design and the arts to digital media and audiovisual production, this sector is a key driver of new ideas and cultural transformation. Here, the creative industries thrive in an environment that fosters interdisciplinary collaboration and experimentation, connecting artists, entrepreneurs, and technologists with resources, spaces, and networks that drive their projects. By combining creativity with technology and innovation, Ciudad del Saber becomes an ecosystem where disruptive ideas flourish and high-impact cultural and commercial solutions take shape, contributing to sustainable development and the enrichment of society.
