Research and innovation play a key role in tackling challenges and reap opportunities for wellbeing and growth in rural territories.
The European Startup Village Forum facilitates the exchange of knowledge and expertise on how to promote startup-driven innovation in rural areas.
This initiative is part of the European Commission’s long-term vision for the EU’s Rural Areas, which includes a specific flagship action on research and innovation for rural communities.
The Startup Village Forum was launched in November 2021. Since then, it has promoted the exchange of knowledge and cooperation amongst institutions, entrepreneurs, academia and practitioners.
It has also encouraged public and private organisations to support Startup Villages financially but also through the provision of infrastructure, expertise and training.
