As New Brunswick’s lead business development agency, Opportunities NB (ONB) has a clear mandate: support local businesses and attract global investment to drive economic and job growth across the province.

That means showing up for businesses of every size, in every region, and helping them move faster, grow smarter, and compete stronger.

How ONB Supports Business Growth

ONB works alongside businesses of all sizes as they:

• Navigate the province’s business landscape and regulatory environment.
• Grow with customized business support.
• Optimize operations and strengthen supply chains.
• Export products and services to new international markets.

These priorities aren’t just part of our mandate; they are key to the province’s long-term economic growth. Behind the scenes, our various Business Development teams bring this work to life.

Our Business Navigators provide one-on-one support to help local entrepreneurs cut through red tape—from registrations to permits and beyond—so they can focus on building their businesses.

Our Business Growth Team serves as a trusted advisor, partnering with local B2B companies across sectors to enhance their productivity, competitiveness, and growth at home and abroad.

Our Export Development Team equips companies with the tools and insights they need to succeed globally, from market entry strategies to logistics and e-commerce.

And ONB’s Investment Attraction Team showcases the New Brunswick Advantage — our agility, world-class infrastructure, skilled bilingual talent, and competitive operating costs — to companies located outside of the province who are looking for their next strategic investment.

We’re connected, collaborative, and relentlessly focused on solutions – working hand-in-hand with industry, government, and post-secondary partners to unlock opportunities, reduce friction, and help businesses move from planning to execution faster. Simply put, we work hard to make sure the conditions for business success are in place – and we have numerous success stories to prove it’s working.

Shaping the Future of New Brunswick’s Economy

As we look ahead to the rest of 2026 and beyond, we are energized by several new opportunities and the recently launched Economic Development Strategy for the province of New Brunswick.

The defence sector is a major area of focus. Increased federal investment is creating a generational opportunity for New Brunswick. In response, we’re establishing a dedicated defence team to accelerate growth, strengthen supply chains, and position our province as a competitive player nationally and globally. Cybersecurity, already a recognized strength for New Brunswick, will play a central role in that strategy.

We’re also seeing strong momentum in mining and are ready to support supply chain development tied to new projects, helping local manufacturers capture opportunities at home while continuing to expand outward.

And as housing demand rises across Atlantic Canada, we are proud to support manufacturers as they scale up capacity to meet the need for residential construction materials – creating jobs and strengthening our economy along the way.
