Fredericton MP Jenica Atwin has announced that the federal government is investing $373,600 to the New Brunswick Business Immigrant Association through the Atlantic Canada Opportunities Agency’s Regional Economic Growth through Innovation program.

This project will support newcomer business owners in New Brunswick by addressing their unique needs through networking, training, learning events, and mentoring opportunities with successful and established immigrant businesses.

The initiative aims to make it easier for newcomers to settle, establish a business and remain in New Brunswick, creating a positive experience that will help attract more entrepreneurs to the region.
