Online platform "There is no quarantine on the Internet"
E.platforma "Internete karantino nera"
Background information
Since the introduction of quarantine in Lithuania (16 March 2020), VšĮ “Versli Lietuva” (Enterprise Lithuania) has launched an initiative, “No quarantine on the Internet”, offering assistance to small- and medium-sized businesses to transfer their activities/businesses to the virtual space. VšĮ "Versli Lietuva" is inviting people to join the business support campaign by purchasing goods and services at their platform. Such assistance is especially relevant for Lithuanian businesses which are facing temporary difficulties as a result of being unable to trade in their usual trading venues.
Content of measure
VšĮ “Versli Lietuva” remotely consults companies on how to transfer their business to the virtual space. Having created their online store, business representatives are encouraged to register store links using the website www.internetekarantinonera.lt. All store links are made public, and people are invited to join the business support campaign by purchasing goods and services online. This way, the buyer can find Lithuanian entrepreneurs selling various goods and services in one place and immediately buy or reserve goods and services. VšĮ “Versli Lietuva” also invites mentors to register for helping businesses digitize and for providing consultations on various issues of business transfer to the Internet.
