Speaking in Guadalajara on Monday, President Felipe Calderon officially confirmed the city will host the federal government’s Ciudad Creativa Digital project.
As previously reported (in our January 21 edition), Guadalajara has landed an ambitious new digital media project that will create 20,000 jobs and aims to generate ten billion dollars of investment over the next five years.
During a presentation at the Expo Guadalajara, the president said the Ciudad Creativa Digital complex will be the most important media technology cluster in Latin America. ProMexico, the federal government agency behind the project, is lobbying to attract around 20 large international companies in the multimedia industry.
“Right now at least 12 high-caliber companies worldwide are interested in the Creative Digital City project,” affirmed Calderon, although he declined to give any names. Among the companies being touted to join the project are the likes of Pixar, DreamWorks, Disney, Electronic Arts and movie studios like Universal, Sony and MGM.
