Rural entrepreneurship: the tale of a rare event
Summary. Most new ventures in rural Portuguese areas are simply businesses located in rural settings, not true rural entrepreneurship. The study of 142 rural ventures in business incubators and science parks found they tend to be smaller, serve mainly local markets, and underperform compared to urban counterparts. Only a small fraction represent genuine rural entrepreneurship that leverages rural-specific advantages.
