SUMMARY:Boosting regional competitiveness through entrepreneurship\, innovation and circularity
DESCRIPTION:In many parts of Europe\, especially rural and remote areas\, people still face a tough choice: stay\, or leave to seek opportunity elsewhere.But what if the right to stay wasn’t just about holding on but about unlocking the full potential of every place? How can Europe’s rural communities and regions become more competitive? \n\n\n\nThis session explores multi-level systemic approaches to regional transformation\, including place-based design practices\, \n\n\n\nIt will be moderated by Federico Esu\, Entrepreneurship Programme Lead at Climate KIC\, and will feature impulse talks from the Systems Transformation Hub\, the Joint Research Centre’s Startup Village Forum initiative and the TA2030 Circular Rural Regions pilot action.  \n\n\n\nIt will be followed by an interactive discussion\, inviting the audience to share experiences and insights on rural policy\, entrepreneurship and circular economy practices\, showcasing how systems thinking and local innovation can align to boost resilience and competitiveness on the ground. \n\n\n\nThe session is part of the European Week of Regions and Cities. It is the biggest annual Brussels-based event during which cities and regions showcase their capacity to create growth and jobs\, implement European Union Cohesion policy\, and prove the importance of the local and regional level for good European governance. The European Week of Regions and Cities is organised by the European Commission’s Directorate-General for Regional and Urban Policy and the European Committee of the Regions.
