Creative Tech Exchange Services

The Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs 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 United States 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. The scope of the program covers architecture, creative coding, gaming, fashion, graphic design, music, and immersive art such as virtual reality, augmented reality, and mixed reality. The program specifically excludes film and television, focusing instead on new media and interactive media practitioners. The selected vendor will perform all required work offsite. Only organizations based in the United States are eligible to compete for this opportunity. The agency is requesting that interested parties submit proposals that include budget details, as no pre-determined budget threshold is specified in the solicitation. Bidders must submit their responses digitally via email or through the designated online portal.
