The Creative Industries (CI) are rooted in the creativity, skills, and talents of people. Through generation and exploitation of intellectual property, the creative industries have great potential for wealth and job creation. The scope of creative industries includes visual arts, music and performing arts, cultural production development, arts and crafts, film, television and broadcasting, publishing, advertising, design, digital entertainment, fashion, branding, creative lifestyle, architecture, etc. In order to meet the industrial ideology of the 21st century and seize new opportunities, Institute of Creative Industry Design (ICID) employs interdisciplinary experts in various professional fields to engage in multifaceted research.
Institute of Creative Industries Design (ICID) is a graduate department within the College of Planning and Design at National Cheng Kung University in Tainan, Taiwan.
