InnovationGUIDE is excited to announce the release of our latest deliverable, “Common Problems and Needs: A Transdisciplinary Framework”. This groundbreaking framework is designed to harness the collective insights and expertise from diverse stakeholders across the rural innovation ecosystems in Türkiye, Malta, Spain, and The Netherlands.
By fostering a participatory approach, this framework serves as a vital tool for conducting comprehensive biogeographic and land analyses. It enables an effective synthesis of stakeholder inputs, crucial for identifying the multifaceted opportunities and barriers impacting rural innovation and entrepreneurship.
The essence of this framework lies in its ability to integrate knowledge from academia, industry, government, entrepreneurs, students, and local communities. This collaborative endeavor enhances the decision-making process, ensuring that strategies are not only innovative but also inclusive and aligned with the real needs of rural areas.
Through regional workshops that involved over 100 stakeholders from sectors as diverse as agriculture, bioeconomy, fisheries, and sustainable tourism, the framework has captured essential insights into the dynamics of rural development. These interactions have highlighted the importance of understanding local contexts to tailor strategies that effectively address regional challenges and leverage potential opportunities for innovation.
As we prepare for further discussions and the development of bi-annual programming, InnovationGUIDE remains committed to advancing sustainable and inclusive growth. This framework is just the beginning—stay tuned for more updates and insights as we continue to explore and expand the horizons of rural innovation and development.
