Atlantica, the International Northeast Economic Region (AINER), is charting a course towards breaking down barriers for big business in Atlantic Canada, Eastern Quebec, and the Northeast United States.

This proposed triangle includes Connecticut and spreads to the three points of Boston, Albany and New York.
