Mission

The main role of the Donostia/San Sebastián Office of Strategy is to study, promote, create, implement, monitor and manage the city's strategic plan.

Furthermore, the Office of Strategy undertakes any activities, projects and initiatives that it has been assigned as a result of the strategic plan, and places particular emphasis on improving the internal and external image of Donostia/San Sebastián, internationalisation and promoting the city abroad.

The Office of Strategy is tasked with carrying out research and consultancy projects which aim to increase knowledge about the situation faced by Donostia/San Sebastián or the cities and regions in its surrounding area.

The job of the office is to nurture projects that result from the strategic plan, as is the case with the Basque Culinary Center and the European Capital of Culture bid, which are both projects carried out in partnership with other public and/or private agents.
