On 31 October, the EU-funded dRural project on digitalisation of rural areas officially finished. Nevertheless, the knowledge collected and shared with similar projects, as well as the digital platform introduced in 11 European rural regions will continue to generate impact.
The dRural project is proud to announce the publication of its final video. It captures moments of the project’s final event during the EU Week of Regions and Cities, as well as the partners’ thoughts on the project's achievements and future impact.
The dRural project, aimed at fostering the digitalisation of services in European rural regions, marked its conclusion through a live event on digital transformation during the EU week of regions and cities, held in Brussels. The final meeting that followed the event was the occasion to present the project’s results and exploitation pathways.
The EU-funded dRural project has entered its final quarter, revealing significant improvements in the quality of life for rural inhabitants through a digital marketplace platform. A video news release highlights the project's success in Extremadura (Spain) and Dubrovnik-Neretva (Croatia).
The EU-funded project dRural continues to extend its impact all over Europe through four new “mirror regions”- rural areas that will adopt the dRural digital platform to improve local markets. After the three pilots and the first group of mirror regions, the time for new replicators of the dRural metaplatform has come. Following the call launched in January 2024, four new demonstrators have been selected to implement local digital marketplaces. The new mirror regions are located in France, Poland, Portugal, and the Czech Republic and will soon start offering simple and complex services in various fields to local inhabitants.
The dRural Open Call for Services closed on 15 January, 2023. Now the project is ready to announce the winners of the Complex Services.
