WELCOME to the CCI website
Wintec’s Centre for Creative Industries (2003-2009) was established to support the cultural and economic development of the Waikato region. During the six years of its establishment, the Centre for Creative Industries (CCI) researched developed and led the start-up of a range of new and innovative projects for the creative industries sector.
CCI focused on the development and implementation of strategic projects aimed at facilitating wider economic and cultural benefit, in line with the New Zealand Tertiary Education Council’s core aim of developing a “high income, knowledge-based economy, which is both innovative and creative, and provides a unique quality of life to all New Zealanders” (TES 2007-12, p8).
By nurturing strong functional relationships with the creative industries sector plus wider industry groups, the community and government bodies, CCI developed and launched a range of innovative projects including:
These projects all aimed to foster economic and cultural growth in New Zealand's growing knowledge economy.
