Nova Scotia is uniquely poised for long-term sustainable economic prosperity. In an intensely competitive global economy, Nova Scotians must build on their export experience and embrace the entire world as their marketplace.

Opportunities for Sustainable Prosperity, the province's economic growth strategy, says that to increase growth, Nova Scotia must "focus on creating a business climate that encourages the production and export of sustainable products and services wherever opportunities present themselves."
