      History

      In 1987 the Department of Development was divided into two new departments: Industry, Trade and Technology and Small Business Development. The function of Industry, Trade and Technology was to foster economic growth in Nova Scotia, and serve as a central agency in regard to economic policy and planning. Specifically, it was to administer the government's economic development policies; coordinate its development activities with the development functions of other departments; collect and conduct analysis of economic and social data and conduct studies relating to the economic and social development of the province; liaise with federal government departments concerned with economic development; liaise with private industry and with private-sector associations and organizations concerned with economic development; and promote trade and commerce both within and outside the province. In 1992 Industry, Trade and Technology merged with Small Business Development to form the Department of Economic Development.
