The ONB Export Development & Business Growth teams strive to connect New Brunswick companies with opportunities to grow their businesses locally and internationally. This information session will provide value to New Brunswick companies, potential and existing exporters, on a relevant business development topic for businesses of all sizes – the navigation of global markets and the uncertainties that surround them.

Why this is important to NB companies: Success on the export front not only helps businesses to grow, but it also increases their productivity and profitability. With post-pandemic economic volatility, disruptive technologies, and geopolitical conflicts making exporting even more complex, businesses need expert guidance more than ever.

This day’s sessions will give New Brunswick exporters learning opportunities around global market uncertainties, artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, sustainability, and more.
