Based on the principle that human creativity is the ultimate economic resource, creative economy industries include education, advertising, architecture, art, crafts, design, fashion, film, music, performing arts, publishing, R&D, software, toys and games, broadcasting. Traditional manufacturing and service industries also benefit by having their employees participate in these activities. Come see experts on campus-community engagement,
collaborative strategies for talent retention, and community-based regional development.
