Our post-secondary institutions work closely with groups like The Research and Productivity Council (RPC), government, and industry to drive innovation at companies across the province. New Brunswick is home to Research Chairs in energy, agriculture, aquaculture, cannabis, and more. These chairs largely align with either one of the province’s primary sectors or one of those sectors’ supply chains.

Our Infrastructure
New Brunswick offers a modern multi-modal logistics hub, ideally situated to capitalize on world markets via an accessible, uncongested, and integrated system of efficiently run highways, ports, railways, and airports.
