Canada / US Trade Relations: Click Here For Updates

Newfoundland Consortium

It is always a pleasure to support manufacturers in Atlantic Canada through the challenges they are facing but also to celebrate successes. We are becoming accustomed to ‘change’ requiring the ability to re-adjust; the opportunities of peer networking are powerful as well as a tool for professional development:

  • No Need to Re-Invent the Wheel!
  • Many minds are better than one.
  • There’s Power in Numbers.
  • Gain a fresh perspective and greater awareness.
  • Make new Connections.

EMC continues to evolve to better represent the needs of the day – through technology, strategic partnerships and learning development. If you are a member, you are aware of the many resources and I encourage everyone in your organization to use them to their fullest potential (yes, all of a member company’s employees are considered members). Here’s a quick review:

Member Needs Help – EMC Canada
Learning Centre – EMC Canada – If you are a member, ask about discounts on our training.
Manufacturing Masters – EMC Canada
Programs – EMC Canada
Services – EMC Canada

If you are not a member, we would encourage you to explore what value EMC could provide to your organization. As with everything we do, members drive activity; always feel free to reach out with thoughts suggestions and ideas…. we couldn’t do it without you!

Charting Your Operational AI Path for Atlantic Manufacturers

VirtualOctober 16, 2025 at 9:00 AM

For many Atlantic manufacturers, the question isn’t if AI can create value—it’s how to approach it. Artificial Intelligence is changing how businesses plan, operate and grow. Should you buy ready-made solutions, or build your own? This session will provide a practical framework for making that decision and identifying opportunities where AI can deliver real ROI in your operations.

Major SR&ED Policy Changes Pending

VirtualOctober 21, 2025 at 1:00 PM

The federal government has released draft legislation that could bring the most significant updates to the SR&ED program in over a decade. These proposed changes could reshape how manufacturers access and maximize tax credits. If enacted, the changes could apply to taxation years after December 16, 2024. This means it’s important to act now; waiting until 2026 to review your claims may miss opportunities to capture historic expenditures and strengthen your funding position.
