Potential for learning or transfer
Problem addressed for this good practice is global and common in an important number of rural settlements and territories all over Europe. Because of this, we consider that it has a big potential to be transferred to other regions.
This project aims at creating new jobs (under a coworking perspective) giving solutions and providing services to the population, especially in sectors related to social innovation and environmental issues.
Anyway, it’s important to highlight the specific skills and experience of the managers with an overall vision and perfect knowledge of the territory, the potential needs about lack of services in rural areas together wing an entrepreneur background.
