Pilot 3: Central Greece
How the Greek Pilot connects Agriculture, Tourism and Digital Innovation?
Central Greece is defined by its vibrant agricultural sector, abundant natural resources, varied landscapes, and significant cultural heritage. This video introduces the Greek Pilot, definied within the concept of PoliRuralPlus project, demonstrating how sustainable agritech, smart agriculture, digital skills, and agritourism can come together to build a more resilient rural–urban ecosystem.
Through field demonstrations, collaborative events, and digital innovation initiatives, the pilot unites farmers, researchers, advisors, policy-makers, technology providers, tourism stakeholders, and young professionals. It showcases practical solutions to key challenges, including skills gaps, youth migration away from rural areas, and limited digital capacity in agriculture, while opening up new opportunities for local products, rural entrepreneurship, and sustainable agritourism. Their input gathered from the stakeholder, feeds into the development of the Regional Action Plan, ensuring that local needs, priorities and opportunities are reflected in future actions for the region.
The Greek Pilot illustrates how place-based collaboration and digital tools, including the GeoAI chatbot Jackdaw, can strengthen evidence-based decision-making and help rural areas become more connected, inclusive, and future-ready.
