European Week of Regions and Cities

Building smart, resilient communities: adapting sparsely populated areas to a digital & green future

Through a live SWOT analysis, we will identify challenges and best practices for the green and digital transition. We will discuss how these regions, rich in natural resources and innovation, face challenges like negative population growth and skill shortages. We will address the need for societal engagement, transitioning from carbon-intensive industries, and retaining and upskilling talent. The panel, representing various sectors, will discuss these issues to develop practical solutions.
