After 10 years of operation the Cairns Region Economic
Development Corporation (CREDC) has closed down its operation in August 2007.
CREDC was responsible for one of the most
developed and effective membership-based industry cluster models for
economic development in Australia. Clusters were established based on the philosophy
of businesses competing collaboratively in the global marketplace which encourages
cross-cluster collaboration, which has fast become the key driver of new innovations
and information exchange within the region.
These clusters assist
businesses facilitate change, growth and development and has proved to
be the cornerstone of a number of high yield, sustainable industries
which are positioning the Cairns region on the world stage as an
innovative and desirable business, investment and lifestyle location.
