AVNU, a Collaborative Mapping Platform

AVNU is a collaborative platform dedicated to mapping and showcasing francophone technocreative resources across the Northern Crescent. Through an open and easily searchable database available at avnu.ca, it brings together the organizations, projects, equipment, events, and human expertise that make up the digital ecosystem of these regions. By facilitating discovery, connection, and visibility among digital sector actors, AVNU helps strengthen a dynamic and accessible creative network.

The Digital Creativity Axis actively supports this initiative and contributes to the ongoing expansion of the database. By documenting technocreative resources and emerging digital expertise, the team is helping to gradually extend the platform’s reach across Quebec. This collaboration aims to enhance the visibility of digital practitioners, foster cross-sector connections, and support the growth of a more connected and representative creative ecosystem.
