Info-Box

Alpine space rural communities are often deprived of highly needed jobs, good provision of services as well as a favorable climate for enterprenuership and social innovation, which result in a brain drain. Digitalization is a promising approach to counter the situation. The Smart Village (SV) approach for mountain areas could unlock the potential of local actors to make their region a more attractive place to live and work. The project aims to apply a SV approach and bring together policy makers, business, academia and civil society to improve the framework for innovation through new forms of stakeholder involvement facilitated by Information and Communication Technologies (ICT).
