Up Festival

San Francisco Urban Prototyping the Arts, Open Data, Civic Participation and Corporate Innovation

Up Festival 2

San Francisco hosted the second UP Festival (Urban Prototyping) last year that looked at the role of the arts, design and technology as tools for civic participation and the efficacy and success of private/public collaborations and startups creating new businesses and growth opportunities from the increasing availability of open data sets. The Up Festival travels and first launched in Singapore looking at mobile applications and healthcare innovation. A great San Francisco example of commercial application of open government data is Movity, now part of just-went-public Trulia, which crunches the numbers on open data sets and hyper-local geodata on crime, noise, pricing, etc. to produce a unique value proposition for the real estate industry. http://sf.urbanprototyping.org/

Tech Townhall

One thing we’re working on in San Francisco is the “digital divide” technological ability and accessibility issue for both open government participation and growth sector employment opportunities. SF.CITI, with its membership base of over 550 San Francisco technology companies and organizations, is working to increase entry-level employment opportunities in tech sector. The Mayor of San Francisco’s TechSF Initiative, funded by a major grant from the US Department of Labor, focuses on education, training and retraining while designing programs that apply innovation methodologies to business and technology challenges in economic and workforce development.  In terms of cultural industries, San Francisco is currently number one in economic impact of the nonprofit arts and cultural organizations per capita in the United States. At SFFAMA and Fashion+TechSF, as an education and economic development nonprofit, we work on leveraging technology to further develop growth opportunities, innovation and employment in the fashion, design and the arts sectors.
