REMOTE

The REMOTE Project aims to revitalize Mallusjoki, Finland, by fostering a sustainable rural-urban ecosystem through digital innovation, cultural preservation, and environmental stewardship. It will develop two core digital platforms: an Events Ecosystem Accelerator to boost local economies (food, crafts, festivals) with NEB-aligned sustainability tools, and a Digital Heritage Hub ("Mallusjoki Memory Lab") paired with a community-driven storytelling festival to strengthen cultural identity. Leveraging remote expertise from Turkiye’s Mareliber, the project integrates with PoliRuralPlus tools (e.g., Jackdaw GeoAI) for data-driven decision-making, targeting TRL 7 prototypes. Key outcomes include economic growth, enhanced community engagement, and replicable models for EU rural areas, to be supported by PoliRuralPlus Develop Call over 9 months.
