dRural is a Horizon 2020 project started in January 2021 with the scope of injecting new chances for the development of European rural areas and communities. The project will co-develop and implement a service marketplace to connect the ecosystem of potential end-users and service providers in rural areas, delivering a broad spectrum of services while boosting economic growth and improving citizens’ quality of life. The future multi-service solution will be set up in four rural regions of Europe: Extremadura (Spain), Jämtland Härjedalen (Sweden), Dubrovnik-Neretva County (Croatia) and Region Gelderland Midden (The Netherlands). The platform will be demonstrated in each region to ensure its adaptability to regional needs while integrating local service providers. This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No. 101017304. Account managed by ICONS Innovation Strategies.
