Is the digital space the new marketplace?

The Covid-19 Pandemic has changed the world as we know it. The way in which we interact with businesses has changed. What role does the digital space play for small businesses making it through the pandemic and eventual recovery? What policies and initiatives have governments put in place to embark on the journey of recovery? In this episode we sit down with a graduate fellow from the Urban Policy lab, Madison Leisk, to discuss how main streets have changed and how the pandemic has brought to light existing weaknesses in policies supporting small businesses, then we’ll speak to Nick Vo, whose family’s small business migrated into the digital space created and a new path for a business that couldn’t otherwise operate during lockdowns.
