Canada: New Brunswick trade mission to India targets deeper commercial ties

The mission is supported by Opportunities New Brunswick (ONB) and will focus on helping businesses diversify internationally, expand into India and develop new commercial and supply-chain partnerships.

Participating companies will take part in business-to-business meetings, market briefings and on-the-ground engagements designed to connect them with potential buyers, partners and decision-makers.

The mission builds on New Brunswick’s long-term engagement with India and follows ONB’s trade mission to the country in March 2025.

Officials said the province’s in-market presence has helped companies navigate local business conditions and identify growth opportunities.

Luke Randall, the minister responsible for Opportunities New Brunswick and economic development and small business, will lead the delegation.

“Global trade dynamics are evolving quickly, and New Brunswick is proactively deepening its engagement with key markets like India,” Randall said in a statement.

He added that New Brunswick is the only Atlantic province with an in-market team in India, allowing it to build sustained partnerships that support long-term growth and diversification.

The delegation includes four New Brunswick companies and one academic institution.

They represent sectors such as advanced manufacturing, agri-food, education technology, professional and educational services, and academic research.
