The North Coast Innovation Festival was launched in 2009 to raise public awareness of the Mid-North Coast’s reputation as an innovative and entrepreneurial region, and harness this culture in a way that will help ensure the region’s sustainability and future economic growth.
Following on from the successful 2009 MNCIF and the Northern Rivers Innovation Awards, the 2010 Festival will expand to include the Northern Rivers. The North Coast Innovation Festival will encompass the entire NSW North Coast from Tweed Heads to Foster-Tuncurry covering a population of almost 600,000.
The 2010 NCIF is a series of individual events that are designed to showcase the intellectual capital and innovative creativity on the NSW North Coast. Each event will incorporate aspects of innovation, sustainability, research, knowledge and entrepreneurship with the aim of bringing together businesses from all industry sectors to share new ideas and approaches on how to work smarter.
Festival events cover a wide range of businesses and organisations which will involve the entire community including community groups, students and industries.
