The European Startup Village Forum has launched a call for municipalities and regions to strengthen and showcase innovation in rural areas across Europe. The Startup Village Mapping Tool enables local authorities to position their communities as Startup Villages and display them on an interactive map. As Bioeconomy Austria, we would like to draw your attention to this initiative.
Understanding how innovation functions in rural areas is crucial for effective public and private sector initiatives aimed at strengthening these regions. The Startup Village Initiative, therefore, offers an excellent opportunity for local authorities to make their innovation power visible and to access funding and partnerships.
If you represent a local authority and believe your community could qualify as a Startup Village, fill in the questionnaire and join this exciting initiative!
