EVENT DETAILS

The event will be taking place at the Saxony Liaison Office in Brussels.

Address: Avenue d’Auderghem 67 B-1040 Brussels

Date: July 9, 2019

Time: 18:00

Big cities and rural areas both contribute in enabling dynamic development, and with increasing digitalization, and work has become independent irregardless of location in many areas. Rural areas are increasingly being used as a location for businesses and as a center of life.

However, the eligibility of rural areas and demographic problems repeatedly show that the potential of rural areas is not fully recognized or used appropriately. It is therefore a concern of this event to motivate decision-makers at European level to work more for rural areas. Comparable challenges and best practice examples will be discussed from different European regions to show that rural areas offer many opportunities for individual development, economic success, intact nature and prosperity.
