dRural Mirror Regions Call winners

News − 29 Aug 2023

The dRural Open Call for Mirror Regions closed on 20 April, 2023. Now the project is ready to announce the winners.

dRural aims to expand its concept, demonstrating its benefits and impacts beyond the current consortium coverage.
For this, the project selected 8 Regions (called Mirror Regions) from outside the consortium to come onboard to replicate the dRural platform in their own rural areas.
Each Mirror Region is represented by two companies in a consortium composed of a regional promoter company and an IT development SME. They will work hand-in-hand to replicate the dRural platform and develop their own marketplace.

A new call for more Mirror Regions will be launched in the future. More details will be released soon.
