What is this about?

Europe’s rural and mountain areas, both in perceptions and in practice, still lack urban areas’ level of attractiveness to work and live, the same level of (public) services, the same level of  innovation in the economy and the same awareness of their own assets due to a lack of digital infrastructure, a lack of high-level (public) services, a gap in digital skills and competences, a lack of tailored smart actions and policies and a subsequent lack of economic opportunities that often result in instances of depopulation and economic decline.

Digitalization is an opportunity for rural and mountain areas to catch up with the assets urban centres have. One of the action of the SmartCommUnity project is to develop the Smartalps network in all the EUSALP countries.
