RuBIO project to encourage innovation and competitiveness of entrepreneurs

• Empowering rural entrepreneurs through access to knowledge, resources and networks for the implementation of bio-economic solutions.
• Addressing demographic challenges, such as a declining and aging population, as well as labor migration from rural to urban areas.
• Reducing development differences between the western and eastern parts of the Danube region through promoting innovation and supporting local economies.

As part of Priority Area 8 (PA8) of the EU Strategy for the Danube Region, RuBIO uses best practices and resources to foster circular bioeconomy and innovation.
