The creators of a new virtual platform say they hope it will help to counter pandemic isolation for entrepreneurs across northern Ontario.
IDENO or Initiative de Développement Économique dans le Nord de l'Ontario is a new online platform launched Monday with the support of FedNor and the non-profit Voila Community Help.
Described as a "virtual business incubator," it's an online meeting space where people can adopt an avatar and use it to wander around a 3-D environment, meant to replace physical spaces where entrepreneurs would normally go for support.
