Introhive will build on its continued success by undertaking an international market expansion into the United States and Europe, through product development to meet specific geographical and industry needs and global sales training for its employees.

Today, Matt DeCourcey, Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship and Member of Parliament for Fredericton announced support to Introhive on behalf of the Honourable Navdeep Bains, Minister of Innovation, Science and Economic Development and Minister responsible for the Atlantic Canada Opportunities Agency (ACOA).

“I’m thrilled to see the federal government’s continued support for Introhive. Firms that export tend to be more innovative, pay higher wages and be more productive than non-exporters, and Introhive is proof of that. They have already contributed to the growth of our local economy and Fredericton’s growing reputation as a leader in advanced technology and innovation.”

“ACOA has supported Introhive for years as we grew exponentially and opened offices around the world.  Introhive successfully entered European and Asian markets and are experiencing rapid growth globally.  We are investing in job creation and product innovation right here in Atlantic Canada. In 2018 alone, we were able to more than double our employee growth rate in our Canadian offices.’’
