SAINT JOHN – Ignite Fredericton has launched Atlantic Canada’s first export accelerator.

Export Igniter is designed to help export ready companies find opportunities, navigate the international business business, and help jump start their export sales. The program is a result of a year of consultation and planning and is being executed in collaboration with University of New Brunswick, Fredericton Chamber of Commerce, Canadian Manufacturers & Exporters and OpportunitiesNB.

“We’re very proud to begin accepting applications for this ground-breaking program,” said Adam Peabody, investment attraction & growth specialist with Ignite Fredericton, in a release. “Current global conditions are opening up new opportunities for NB exporters worldwide from the low dollar, to the 15 signed Canada free-trade agreements, to rising global demand. There’s no better time to begin exploring your export potential.”
