Rural-UP

Expected results

The project will create and run a cross-border scaling-up programme for young rural companies (up to 5 years old) in the food and beverage sector. The programme will offer training, mentoring, networking, and participation in international events, with a focus on digital tools, packaging, logistics, and innovation. Selected companies will receive individual growth roadmaps and support to achieve goals such as attracting investment, entering new markets, or developing new products.
This project will bring a strong positive impact by helping rural start-ups grow faster and smarter across all partner regions. It will also strengthen cross-border cooperation and create a practical model that other support organisations can use in the future.
