SWG RRD team members involved in REVIVE project on 1st Otober 2024 met with the co-founders of AviFly Agro Drones, start up from Rankovce (Northeast region) North Macedonia. These young people are engaged in agriculture and rural development through the implementation of innovative business models and uptake of digital technology, optimization and automatization.
At the meeting we discussed the current situation, startup culture, the acceptance of new technology in small rural areas and the possibilities of the development of the Internal Mediterranean areas. The potential of the development of Mediterranean Digital Innovation Hubs and international cooperation and clustering is more than needed in North Macedonia. Through the development of the territorial business model, startups and already established companies will have the opportunity through collaborative and community derived ideas(products/services) to share and exchange practices with other countries within the Interreg Euro Med program. We concluded that digital and technological advancements will play a crucial role in strengthening local business models, reducing unemployment, and boosting sustainability.
The activity is co-funded by the European Union in the framework of the Interreg Euro-MED Programme.
