This webinar will explore how new data, indicators, and policy tools can help enhance economic resilience, innovation, and business diversity in rural areas, key components for sustainable and competitive rural development.
What to expect:
- Insights from the GRANULAR project, including new indicators for measuring socio-economic resilience and social cohesion in rural areas.
- Focus on experimental and crowd-sourced data to assess economic diversity.
- Discussion of how the Competitiveness Compass and the EU Startup and Scaleup Strategy can contribute to innovation and decarbonisation in rural economies.
