Grant Overview
Priority Outcomes for New Brunswick Startups in Insurtech and Fintech Innovation
The Funding for Insurance & Wealth Industry Innovative Startups grant is designed to drive transformative growth in New Brunswick's insurtech and fintech sectors. The province's unique economic landscape, characterized by a strong presence of financial institutions and a growing startup ecosystem, makes it an ideal location for innovative companies to thrive. The Department of Economic Development and Tourism is a key state agency supporting this growth, offering resources and programs to foster entrepreneurship and job creation.
New Brunswick's geographic location, bordering both the United States and the Atlantic Ocean, presents distinct opportunities for insurtech and fintech startups. The province's coastal economy and trade relationships with neighboring regions create a demand for innovative financial solutions, particularly in areas such as marine insurance and cross-border financial services. Furthermore, the province's diverse demographic features, including a significant Francophone population, require tailored financial products and services that address their unique needs.

Similarly, fintech startups that develop new payment systems, digital banking platforms, or other financial technologies may find opportunities to partner with local financial institutions and drive growth.
To achieve the grant's priority outcomes, successful applicants will be expected to demonstrate a clear understanding of the province's economic landscape and the needs of its financial sector. They will also be required to show a strong potential for growth, job creation, and economic diversification.
