Between 6th and 9th November, a delegation from the Basque CCI sector, which included KSIgune, travelled to the city of Shanghai in China to take part in the Reverse Mission initiative, an annual programme of study visits in the field of innovation and creativity.

At Reverse Mission 2024, the KSIgune cluster got a first-hand insight into Shanghai's dynamic and multi-faceted creative industry, which encompasses sectors such as film, media, design, fashion and technology. Representatives from the city have ntroduced various initiatives, showcasing its unique approach to integrating industry with cultural heritage, fostering creative industries and leveraging multimedia platforms for global impact.
The Basque delegation was able to visit emblematic sites and projects such as:
