By means of creative methods COLIN aims to inform, inspire and connect creative businesses with one another and with other economic sectors. By doing so, COLIN stimulates the further development of the creative industries and the creative economy in Noord-Brabant. Since COLIN is initiated and facilitated by NHTV Breda University of Applied Sciences its base is education and (practically oriented) research focused on leisure, creative industries and imagineering. Students and professionals work together to fulfil COLIN’s aims.
