Stories of Innovation

In Newfoundland and Labrador, innovation isn’t just about keeping pace with the world — it’s about creating solutions that matter here at home. From ocean technology to life sciences, local companies are tackling challenges unique to our province, building ideas that strengthen communities and inspire the next generation of problem-solvers. Our project shines a spotlight on these stories — the people, companies, and breakthroughs that are reshaping our economy and redefining what’s possible in Newfoundland and Labrador. By sharing their journeys, we celebrate not only their achievements, but the spirit of creativity and resilience that drives our province forward.

“The innovation is not just from Newfoundland and Labrador — it is for Newfoundland and Labrador.”

— Pascal Milord, Division Manager of Atlantic XL's Additive Manufacturing Division
