The event takes place on June 23rd in Montecorto (Serranía de Ronda, Málaga) and will address opportunities to revitalize the economy in rural areas and attract talent
Telework Andalucía will participate on June 23rd in the conference 'Active Towns, Living Towns' organized by the Rural Affairs Committee of the Spanish Institute of Engineering (IIE) at the 'Montelucía' Center for Entrepreneurial Promotion, in the municipality of Montecorto ( Sierra de Ronda), with the presentation titled 'Attracting talent: teleworking and digital nomads in rural areas'.
In this day, the opportunities to revitalize the rural economy, attract talent and establish population in the towns will be discussed as a premise to achieve the socioeconomic, demographic and environmental balance of Spain in general, and of small municipalities in particular.
The fight against rural depopulation goes through the settlement of the population in the municipalities, for which it is vital to generate new employment opportunities capable of retaining, returning and attracting talent that generates entrepreneurial ambience in rural areas. In this context, new technologies make it possible for numerous professional activities that have traditionally been developed from an urban environment, now also to be approached from rural areas.
Three personal stories
In the first presentation, the coordinator of Rural Development of the Botín Foundation, Bruno Sánchez Briñas, and the managing partner of Rurápolis, Miguel Ángel Molinero, will present the experience of regional transformation in the Nansa Valley (Cantabria) as well as good practices and aspects key for the socioeconomic development of the territory within the framework of the Serranía de Ronda, where 'Montelucía' is located.
In the second presentation, which will be offered by the promoters of www.teleworkandalucia.com, Sara Cantos and Costas Hadjisotiriou, the rural opportunities associated with teleworking, the attraction of digital nomads and remote workers to rural areas and the potential of towns to live and work.
Lastly, the promoter of the Centro de Impulso Emprendedor 'Montelucía', José Joaquín García Moreno, will present this project aimed at stimulating entrepreneurship and facilitating the establishment of entrepreneurs in rural areas, which is launched with the celebration of this day.
