Huddle.Today
Online/Digital
Huddle is a Maritime business publication that tells the stories of the creative, innovative, and interesting entrepreneurs working in the Maritimes. We have journalists in Halifax, Saint John, Moncton and Fredericton who report on the issues and events that help or hinder their ability to create wealth and employment.
Huddle has a broad definition of entrepreneurship, knowing that it exists in many sectors, including but not limited to IT, energy, agriculture, tourism, food and beverage, health and culture. We are a news site, and a gathering place for people with ambition who, through their companies and communities, want to help build stronger economies. That includes owners and operators of businesses, people who work for them, and people invested in the success of local companies and communties.
At Huddle, our philosophy is simple: we believe that business is good.
Business creates jobs, opportunities and wealth, things we need more of here in our part of Canada. Business is creative, powerful and a force for positive social change.
We’re passionate about the entrepreneurs making a difference in our region. Too often business in the Maritimes is viewed with suspicion or even resentment. That’s holding us back, so we want to help change that mindset. Source
