This paper aims to understand how cultural and creative industries (CCIs) contribute to regional innovation.
This paper explores the process of CCIs contributing to regional innovation and assesses the accumulated outcome of this process.
The authors conclude that CCIs contribute to a city’s innovation involving five dimensions (time, space, tangible, intangible and division) and four phases (people, tool, collaboration and brokerage) and the contributions are accumulated into positive innovation outcome; however, a highly developed economy is relatively unsupportive of CCIs contributing to regional innovation.
