Overview: commercial projects defined
A commercial project is a venture or opportunity where the primary outcome is delivering new revenue to Unitec – as opposed to the development of a core business activity.
Commercial projects include:

- International sales opportunities
- The sale or export of Intellectual Property assets for commercial gain
- Development of new courses (such as short courses) which are not part of the core curriculum and whose purpose is primarily revenue growth
- Commercial partnerships and alliances
- Joint ventures which extend Unitec beyond its core teaching framework (for example Mindlab)
- Utilising Unitec assets for commercial gain
- Existing business entities (for example the IBM centre)
Commercial Projects do not include:
- Core teaching curriculum activities (i.e. course development and extensions)

- Infrastructure and capital spend projects
