Research & ICT Strong Areas Of Growth For 2013

The Board of Trade will be getting together early in the new year to talk about what its role will be in the second True Growth strategy that has been launched by Deputy Mayor Shelly Rinehart to stimulate economic activity. 

Board of Trade President Imelda Gilman tells CHSJ News sees at least one area where growth can take place. She says UNB, Horizon Health, NBCC, and Dalhousie Medicine New Brunswick are all working together to develop our research cluster and generating revenue in our region.

Gilman says another area of potential growth is the ICT cluster which already employs more than 3 thousand people locally.
