As New Brunswick’s lead economic development agency, ONB empowers businesses to adopt new technologies, attract investment, and position the province for success in an increasingly competitive global market.
ONB takes a strategic approach by focusing on high-growth sectors like advanced manufacturing, digital health, agritech, ICT, cybersecurity, and energy innovation. ONB works closely with businesses in these industries, helping them leverage AI, automation, and digital tools to enhance productivity, streamline operations, and expand into new markets. ONB’s proactive support ensures that companies are equipped to thrive, unlocking growth opportunities and boosting competitiveness.
A prime example of this impact is JMN Enterprises Ltd, based in Saint-François-de-Madawaska. CEO Jean-Francois Landry credits the company’s success to significant investments in automation and technology, made possible with ONB’s support. “We have made several great investments in automation equipment including a scanner, cut-to-size sawing line, automatic glue clamp carrier, and Computer Numerical Control (CNC) cutting tables,” says Landry. “All this, coupled with improving our information technology solutions, has made all of our growth possible over the past few years.” With these enhancements, JMN not only improved productivity but also expanded its workforce, demonstrating how technology adoption can fuel business success.
ONB’s focus on improving the productivity of New Brunswick businesses helps these companies optimize operations and adopt advanced technologies, enabling them to compete more effectively and grow sustainably in today’s evolving economy.
