    A two-day best practices mission through Richmond County’s Ocean Industry showcasing local innovative SMEs

    Located in the province of Nova Scotia, Richmond County is situated on the Cape Breton side of the Strait of Canso, bordered on the South by the Atlantic Ocean and on the North by the Bras d’Or Lakes.

    The Municipality of the County of Richmond is an Award Winning and Innovative organization that takes an active and proactive role with its businesses and residents. Richmond County’s Ocean Industry has traditionally been an economic driver with increasing opportunities to expand production, manufacturing, and exporting.

    Their rural based businesses are embracing new technologies that allow them to compete in the global markets. Point Tupper, Richmond’s Heavy Industrial Park, re-positioned itself as a strategic location for worldwide transshipping and intermodal transportation along with being an integral component of Canada’s second highest tonnage Ports.
