Yoop founder Benoît Fredette recently launched the new two-way Yoop platform, which offers “real-time visual and audio interaction between artists and spectators.”
Solotech and Yoop are both “immersed in the entertainment industry and always aim higher by proposing modern technologies to meet customer needs,” according to the joint announcement.
Their partnership “represents an opportunity to innovate and to go beyond the barriers of distance by bringing content providers and their audiences closer together,” the announcement says.

Why Solotech Partnered with Yoop
Martin Chouinard, president of the live productions division at Solotech, is enthusiastic about this partnership.
“Yoop and Solotech have the same objective: to allow spectators to reconnect with their favorite artists through real contact where the energy can be felt on both sides,” he said. “We are excited to bridge two worlds which have been distant for so long, it will help infuse a lot of passion into the great cultural community.
“Thanks to cutting-edge technologies, we can build a future beyond physical constraints, without sacrificing the quality of production and offer an ultimate experience. We see real potential for corporate events, musical performances, product launches, training sessions, to name a few,” said Chouinard in the announcement.
In addition to its partnership with Yoop, Solotech has also broadened its service offering by adding webcasting expertise, the inauguration of studios and new equipment targeted for artists and workers in times of pandemic.
