Organized by the Creativity Zentrum Association, Creativity Meeting Point is the International Forum for Creative Industries which every March immerses Bilbao in creativity and good ideas. For the fifth consecutive year, the Maritime Museum of the city has hosted this international event that has already become a landmark event on Creativity, Entrepreneurship and Innovation.
Carlos Alonso Pascual has been involved in this exciting initiative, to share with the many attendees the experience Bilbao World Design Capital - Candidate City.
Moderated by Arantza Atutxa, the session dedicated to the revitalization of the creative industries also benefited from the presence of Arantta Santamaria, Gorbeialde Rural Development Association, and Luis Gallo, Bidasoa Activa. In a brief statement, Carlos Alonso Pascual summarized the main lines of the Bilbao World Design Capital candidacy project:
Having undertaken industrial and urban transformations, Bilbao is now seeking to become the town of knowledge and to be a global benchmark for creativity and design. The turning point, and one of the levers of this new challenge was the World Design Capital candidacy in 2014.
As recalled Edward Glaeser, professor of economics at Harvard University, «The success of a city lies in the level of education and the initiative of its citizens, not in their infrastructures.» The nomination has been a powerful engine to achieve this vision and transform the design, creativity and innovation in the heart of our city, our organizations and our lives.
