Smart & Connected
The size of our region and province allows us to be highly connected, collaborative and innovative. There are a number of projects taking place in the Greater Saint John region and across the province that are looking at how we can use smart technologies and concepts to improve the way we live in New Brunswick.
Smart Cities Challenge
City of Saint John has started public engagement to include in its bid for Infrastructure Canada’s Smart Cities Challenge. Two communities with a population of 500,000 or less will be chosen to solve its toughest community challenge and given $10 million in federal funding to do it.
Smart Communities
Smart & Connected Community Data Project-Harnessing the Power of Data
Enterprise Saint John, the economic development agency for the region has secured a 3-year project that will harness the power of data by using connected technologies to collect public and organizational data. That data will be collected and added to a data platform where researchers and innovators will analyze the data and look for trends, patterns and opportunities. Those insights will help municipalities, organizations & businesses find new opportunities that could help them find exportable ideas, save money or grow.
Smart Communities NB

Every municipality is different in size, challenges and opportunities - however, each can develop smart community plans (the use of technology) specific to their needs.
