Research威 Strategic growth opportunity through UNB’s status as New Brunswick’s leading research university with over 60 research centres and institutes, presenting potential for research collaboration partnerships, sponsored programs, and contract research services that align with federal funding and industry partnerships.

AI & Digital Active engagement in emerging tech, including participation in the Atlantic AI Summit and federal funding for digital twin initiatives, signaling readiness for analytics, AI tooling, data infrastructure, and simulation solutions that support campus operations, research labs, and industry collaborations.

Campus Expansion Multi-campus presence in Fredericton and Saint John with online and partner courses indicates opportunities for learning technology platforms, LMS enhancements, student information systems, and scalable e-learning solutions to support growing enrollment.

Public Funding Significant reliance on public funding and research grants (including recent $813K for a maritime 3D digital twin) suggests a prospect for consulting, grant management software, compliance services, and grant-writing support tailored to higher education funding cycles.

Leadership Transition Recent leadership changes, including appointing an acting president and former president’s resignation, create openings for executive search, change management advisory, and stakeholder engagement services to support governance transitions and strategic realignment.
