Why Us

New Brunswick has the resources to help your business be more profitable. Land and properties are plentiful and inexpensive. Water is clean and abundant. Energy is cost-competitive and reliable from multiple sources including natural gas, hydroelectric, thermal and nuclear.


It’s no surprise why McCain, UPS and Molson Canada have chosen New Brunswick as a key vantage point to take on the world. From international corporations to entrepreneurial upstarts, there are many compelling stories about how New Brunswick provides the ideal east coast gateway to North America and a springboard to Europe and Asia.


According to KPMG’s Competitive Alternatives 2008 study, New Brunswick has the lowest business costs on the eastern seaboard. In fact, New Brunswick cities have up to a 12% business cost advantage over US locations in the IT industry. A global transportation hub, New Brunswick is closer to Europe than any U.S. seaport with same-day access to more than 100 million North Americans. So it’s easy to understand why exports in New Brunswick alone account for more than all other Atlantic Provinces combined.


With a bold vision to build beyond resource- based industries, New Brunswick deployed the first completely digital switching network in North America and the first province-wide fiber optic network. Today, we can lay claim to the most extensive broadband coverage per capita in North America – no other jurisdiction is more connected.


In this day and age of dramatic climate change and global uncertainty, New Brunswick offers a secure operating environment, away from natural disasters, terrorism and political instability. And you can be confident about your company’s success with our skilled, creative, bilingual, and extraordinarily loyal workforce, staying on the job an average more than 8 years.  All in all, New Brunswick delivers the perfect package of advanced IT infrastructure, people power, proven expertise and reliable, affordable energy.
