Summary

Enterprise Network
The Enterprise Network is designed to create prosperity in communities throughout the province through its network of 15 regional Enterprise agencies. By building stronger communities, the Enterprise Network is helping build a stronger New Brunswick.

New Brunswick's approach to economic development puts communities in the drivers seat of their own economic growth, by giving them real decision-making power and the resources they need to build on their own assets and strengths. It's community development from the ground up based on a partnership between various levels of government and the community. The goal is to help businesses and community organizations take their future in their own hands.
