EU’s rural development plan called “Smart Villages” is well underway. The initiative aims to battle unemployment in European rural areas and take them into the “smart” future through digital and social innovation.

This Friday, 13th April 2018, an international conference titled “For a Brighter Future of Rural Areas in EU” will be held at Bled, Slovenia, hosted by Violeta Bulc (European Commissioner for Transport) and Franc Bogovič (Member of the European Parliament). The event will begin with a welcome speech by Miro Cerar, Prime Minister of Slovenia, followed by discussions with EU Commissioners & MEPs.

SunContract Launch

One of our key partners, SunContract, will hold a launch of the SunContract Platform as part of the broader EU Commission organized initiative. Smart Villages Initiative and SunContract are guided by the same goal — to support local self-sufficient communities that strive for a sustainable future for our children’s children.

On this occasion, our CEO Andrej Vidmar will share his thoughts and knowledge on a panel discussion as a SunContract partner for the Coolomat devices.
