For the 3rd consecutive year, we brought San Diego Startup Week to Tijuana! We showcased the power of binational collaboration and welcomed over 100+ attendees from Tijuana and San Diego for a night of connections, collaboration, and innovation. Attendees got to learn more about the San Diego-Tijuana region, meet speakers building now in Tijuana, and, for the first time, had a fast pitch competition! We ended the night with Lucha Libre masks, local beers, delicious tacos and a brilliant DJ set from the Arkusnexus team!
