Over the past 3 decades Finland has transformed it-self into a global innovation leader, in large part due to their focus on research and development.  Back in 1981 Finland’s total R&D expenditures were just over 1% of gross domestic product (where New Brunswick’s are now) and half of global leaders the US, the UK, and Japan.  Fast forward to 2010 and Finland leads the world with R&D expenditures of 3.9% of GDP – a third more than the US and Japan, and double the UK.

 Le Conseil des technologies de l’information du Nouveau-Brunswick (CTINB) et  Étoiles  Montantes sont heureux de lancer le programme « Classe de 2012 », destiné à encourager davantage de jeunes à poursuivre une carrière dans le domaine des technologies de l’information et de la communication (TIC).

 Le rapport sur ​​la croissance du secteur des TIC est maintenant disponible en français. Nous vous remercions pour votre patience.

George Erb, of ScotiaBank, and Brian Freeman of ROC Consulting Group are the most recent additions to the NBITC Board.

As Director and Group Lead, Commercial Banking,and a Fellow of the Institute of Canadian Bankers, George brings over 30 years of financial experience to the Board.

Brian has extensive Operations Management, Strategic Planning and Implementation, and Business Development, experience within Government as well as Advanced Technology Industries such as the nuclear industry and ICT.

The NBITC will be following up on the success of the Class of 2011, with a Class of 2012.  The program will guarantee jobs to a select group of students graduating from New Brunswick highschools in 2012 provided they complete a relevant post-secondary degree or diploma.  

The Class of 2012 will be virtually identical to the Class of 2011, which selected 25 students from across the Province, with the exception the Council is looking to increase the number of students selected.

The NBITC is partnering with the Province and ACOA to establish a more accurate picture of the breadth, depth, and impact of the ICT sector in New Brunswick.   The intent is to make use of the data to help shape policy aimed at increasing ICT`s contribution to the Provincial economy, and to establish a baseline that can used to determine to what extent new and existing programs are effective.

The New Brunswick Information Technology Council released its new plain-speaking report to Premier David Alward that outlines needed solutions required for the province’s technology sector.

The report, entitled Growing the ICT Sector and written on behalf of the Premier’s Advisory Council on Technology, reiterates that the private sector and government must “be in lock step” if New Brunswick is to get back on the global technology map.
