integrated services and flexible in rural areas as mentioned in the report are crucial for this development. In the area we are Algarve, we have a long way to go...our public transportation and public connections stop in time. we should think about the impact of a good public transpiration that gives access to rural areas also to boost the local community and economy.

This report from OCDE, is quite interesting to understand some dimensions that have been on the scope of the international community and entrepreneurs.

Indeed we all can agree with the use of technology to boost rural areas and to communicate their craft products or bio productions in the world scale with a value and local product. My question is how can we educate the current promoters from the rural areas to use technology ? we have in the pdf some recommendations and takeaways to help unlock the innovation potential of rural regions by rebuilding the scope of policies and programmes for innovation but since the 1st Edinburgh reunion the real areas are becoming each day with less people due to job opportunities.

They also propose alternative indicators beyond the traditional science and technology measures to better capture innovative practices. Should also be ver interesting to analyze the profile of startups and entrepreneurs that choose to invest and develop their services and products in rural areas...maybe if they use the quality of life and of well-being to bring digital nomads to the rural areas could boost the local community in terms of tech information.

At the very end in my modest opinion this is a political statement and we all should think with fiscal benefits to attract young innovators or entrepreneurs to invest in rural areas, taking in consideration that they need access to in terms of roads, airports etc. In a small country like Portugal this should be in a tier1 priority. example : ponta do sol in madeira - rural area in Madeira with a big community of digital nomads focusing in well being and developing their companies via Madeira.
