Envision Saint John is the Saint John Region’s lead economic development and visitor attraction agency, tasked with sustainably growing our economy and population. We are governed by an independent Board of Directors and actively supported by the municipalities that are our key funding partners - Saint John, Quispamsis, Rothesay, Grand Bay-Westfield, Hampton, Fundy-St. Martins and the Fundy Rural District.
Envision Saint John is a convener, bringing together diverse stakeholders to develop a shared economic vision. We function as an economic intelligence hub, gathering and interpreting economic data that informs strategic decision-making. We work as an innovation accelerator, creating platforms and support mechanisms that help businesses and entrepreneurs start up and scale up. We are storytellers, crafting compelling narratives that attract visitors and new residents and reveal the region’s economic potential to local, provincial, national, and international audiences.
Envision Saint John is one player in an ecosystem focused on transforming the Saint John Region’s economy. Working collaboratively with stakeholders, Envision Saint John turns economic strategies into actionable initiatives that can be implemented across the region. Building on our collective strengths, we are leveraging global opportunities and charting new interconnections between educational institutions, businesses, governments, and community organizations.
