2026 Opportunities New Brunswick Export Awards

Last month, TechImpact was proud to sponsor the 58th ONB Export Awards in Saint John, and the evening made one thing clear: New Brunswick's tech sector is a serious driver of export growth.

Of the 40 companies vying for awards this year, a remarkable number were TechImpact members. Beauceron Security, Bloom Funding, ClinicGlide, Everest Group of Companies, Lets Nurture, Neenopal Canada Inc., and SmartSkin Technologies all had a place in the program. That presence is a signal of something real: whether building tech or putting it to work, TechImpact members are increasingly at the table when we talk about what NB exports to the world.

And the results backed it up. Digital Boost participants Smet Monuments and The Smart Energy Company were both nominated on the night, with Smet taking home Exporter of the Year (under $5M). TechImpact member Neenopal Canada Inc. placed in the top three as a finalist for Emerging Exporter of the Year, and Everest Group of Companies went one further, winning that category outright.

Congratulations to ONB for hosting a fantastic night, and to every nominee, finalist, and winner on the evening. We're proud to support a community that's building businesses with global ambition.
