The Digby Area Board of Trade recently organized a brainstorming session in collaboration with Maritime Launch Services (MLS) and Invest Nova Scotia to explore new opportunities for economic growth and development in the region. The session brought together key stakeholders from each organization to generate creative solutions and innovations that could benefit the community.

One of the topics of discussion was the potential for MLS or their partner to establish a satellite tracking and monitoring facility in the Digby area. This would bring new jobs and investment to the region, as well as position Digby as a hub for space technology and innovation. The team discussed potential sites for the facility.

Another idea that emerged from the brainstorming session was to leverage the region's natural resources and assets to attract new businesses and industries. This could include promoting eco-tourism opportunities, developing sustainable fishing and aquaculture practices, and expanding renewable energy projects.

The brainstorming session also highlighted the importance of collaboration and partnership between the public and private sectors in driving economic growth and development. Representatives from Invest Nova Scotia discussed the various funding and support programs available to businesses and organizations in the region, as well as the importance of building strong partnerships to leverage resources and expertise.

Overall, the outcome of the brainstorming session was highly positive for the Digby area and its potential for economic growth and development. The ideas generated by the team demonstrate a commitment to innovation, sustainability, and collaboration, and highlight the region's potential to become a hub for space technology, eco-tourism, and other emerging industries. The Digby Area Board of Trade, MLS, and Invest Nova Scotia are committed to exploring these opportunities further and working together to build a prosperous and vibrant future for the region.
