Pairing the knowledge and skills of Nova Scotia's universities with the business community, the Alliance of University Business Development Centres has formed to help each other better assist existing and future entrepreneurs to develop the crucial skills and mindset needed to own, operate, and expand successful businesses, not-for-profit ventures or community organizations, and ultimately to become vital contributors to the region's economy.
Nova Scotia is well-positioned to be able to bring university resources to bear on the economic development needs of this region with university business development centres (UBDCs) located at universities across Nova Scotia.
