Tijuana Innovadora fascinating as showcase for entrepreneurs

“Innovadora is my real vocation,” he said.

In an interview with La Prensa two years ago, he said, “San Diego has long believed that it has been living with a toad called Tijuana, but in reality Tijuana is a prince waiting to be discovered.” He contended that the two cities should work together more effectively “when it comes to medical services, cultural life, real estate” as well as water use and environmental issues.

The border is a complex issue, and we can only comment that it was disappointing how few San Diegans we saw at Innovadora. Deep connections take leadership from the business community as well as our local officials and the federal government. We saw the same passion, spirit, determination, dedication and discipline in Tijuana that we so often praise here, but if crossing the border continues to take an hour or more, the cross-border benefits that could so easily be achieved will be lost waiting in that line.
