July 12, 2012 (Tijuana) -- The world’s leading innovators will gather this October at an international conference on San Diego’s doorstep. Nobel laureates Rajendra K. Pachauri, the United Nations’ point man on climate change, and Ada Yonath, winner of the Chemistry Prize, will join global thought leaders, technology entrepreneurs and pioneering philanthropists at the event, called Tijuana Innovadora 2012.
The conference will also showcase local leaders who are putting the Tijuana-San Diego region on the world innovation map.
Each day’s theme will be explored in keynote addresses, panel discussions and workshops, all available in English and Spanish. These include aerospace, education, electronics, energy, philanthropy, science and technology, strategic design, urban planning, among others.
There will be an expo featuring the latest high-tech products being produced in Tijuana and a zone for innovative small businesses.
Concerts, art exhibits and other cultural events -- including an “Iron Chef” culinary competition and international fashion show -- round out this celebration of innovation.
The conference is Oct. 11 to 21 at the Tijuana Cultural Center (CECUT). There will be easy shuttle transportation from the border to the center, just minutes away. Complete information is available at http://tijuana2012.com.
