Creative Tech Exchange Services

The United States Department of State is seeking a vendor to establish and implement the Creative Tech Exchange, a new international arts exchange program. This initiative aims to drive economic growth by connecting domestic creative professionals and technologists with international peers working at the intersection of the arts and emerging technologies, with a specific focus on artificial intelligence. The agency intends to position the United States as a global leader in advanced technology, promote private-sector-led technological growth, expand global markets for domestic creative industries, protect free expression, and enhance workforce readiness in the creative sector. The scope of work covers disciplines including architecture, creative coding, gaming, fashion, graphic design, music, and immersive art such as virtual reality, augmented reality, and mixed reality. The program targets new media and interactive media practitioners, but explicitly excludes film and television. The selected vendor must perform all work offsite. Only organizations based in the United States are eligible to apply for this opportunity. Bidders must submit their proposals digitally via email or through the designated online portal. The agency has not disclosed a specific budget and is requesting cost proposals from interested parties to evaluate the financial scope.
