An invaluable resource for companies and communities, the CCBI brings together interdisciplinary teams of students, faculty and industry or community partners to solve complex, real-world problems. By working closely with industry professionals, Humber students gain the professional skills, entrepreneurial attitudes and innovation literacy that will accelerate their career success.

This vibrant, multi-faceted facility will be located within the Cultural Hub.

The CCBI stimulates creativity-driven innovation and supports creative and other industries in developing new products, services, creative content and distribution platforms. The team is already making an impact through many active projects and partnerships.

The CCBI is part of an exciting, innovation network at Humber that mobilizes the power of creative ideas, advanced technologies and entrepreneurial thinking to help businesses and communities prosper. Humber's Centre of Innovation Network takes problem solving to the next level by bringing together talented people with the insight, imagination and skills to put ideas into action. COI teams examine challenges from many different angles, leveraging their diverse backgrounds and industry expertise to disrupt traditional thinking and design creative, user-centred solutions.

  • Technology Innovation - fostering Industry 4.0, advanced manufacturing and digital media technologies
