UXnet in Atlantic Canada

Atlantic Canada is the most north eastern region of North America. It encompasses a vast area, made up of four Canadian provinces: Newfoundland and Labrador, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, and Prince Edward Island.

It’s home to many high-tech companies in many industries from bio-technology to leading-edge video game development.

The User eXperience network (UXnet) is a new concept to the region, although many companies are, of course, creating products with the User Experience in mind.
