The Nanaimo Economic Development (NED) office is a municipal function within the City of Nanaimo. The NED works to develop a creative, dynamic and competitive business environment that fosters economic growth.  This office leads and mobilizes the community, local agencies, organizations and businesses to develop and implement strategies that will assist in strengthening our local economy.
