Revitalising rural areas through business innovation

This is the main report of the ENRD Seminar on ‘Revitalising Rural Areas through Business Innovation’ (Brussels, March 2017).

It examines a range of EU policies and tools for business innovation, including digitisation, smart specialisation, and social innovation.
