The RIS is an instrument for building regional consensus for regional development.

Its structure is determined by the smart specializations of the region.

In their arrangement, a diagnosis of regional innovativeness was carried out, analytical arrangements were developed at their level, and a strategic intervention was planned in relation to them.

The specifics and activities of the DigitalRural project are in line with the assumptions of the document "RIS" for the smart specializations “Quality of Life” and "Information and telecommunications".

3. Agriculture
4. Entrepreneurship
5. Sustainability.

Within these objectives, digitization is a transversal priority. According to the policy, the digital transformation has a huge impact on how and where businesses can be placed and develop their activity. This impact can be modified by the municipal policies and services. A proper promotion of digital transformation in the municipal businesses can be expected from Vision of the municipality of Hof van Twente.

The integration of the Vision requires that businesses are more aware of the capacities and opportunities that digitization can bring them, requiring a wider effort in the field of digital security and good digital skills.

In Hof van Twente they want to stimulate digitization of business and society, to promote a more resilient economic sector, to create more business opportunities in rural and municipal areas, and to enlarge the social cohesion. That is why they see it as an important task to promote specific working lines in the Vision, for the improvement of rural business digitization.
