econext (formerly NEIA)

The Newfoundland and Labrador Environmental Industry Association (NEIA) is a not-for-profit association of businesses that promotes the growth and development of the green economy in Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada.

To accomplish this, NEIA must directly contribute to: the development of new enterprises; the stabilization and retention of existing local enterprises; the growth of existing local enterprises; the attraction of new enterprises to the region; and the creation of conditions for these activities to take place – be it through regulatory frameworks, general business climate or sector awareness.

To achieve these ends NEIA focuses its activities and initiatives in 5 areas, by providing: firm-level supports to drive business growth; training tailored to environmental sector employees; tools to encourage and foster innovation and productivity; export and international trade support; and leadership on policy and advocacy issues.

With over 190 members, NEIA is Newfoundland and Labrador’s premier resource for the environmental sector, offering a diverse range of expert knowledge and support services for firms and organizations working to grow economic opportunity while respecting our natural environment. NEIA is the business of the environment.
