European Week of Regions and Cities workshop: Ensuring future dynamic rural areas

This workshop will present ways of introducing innovation to create smarter rural and remote areas. The lack of digital skills and reliable connectivity has a negative effect on European businesses and citizens. The European Commission has a strategy towards closing this digital gap and provides means for regional and local authorities to introduce smart innovation, improve connectivity and ensure greater competitiveness in rural areas. Registration is open to all. The final agenda will be made available to participants directly.
