  Smart Rural 21

  France implements smart villages through its Common Agricultural Policy Strategic Plan and LEADER programme, supporting digital capacity building, co-working spaces, and rural innovation platforms. The French Rural Network conducts research on smart villages and publishes practical guides for municipalities. National initiatives include a Digital Agency promoting high-speed internet, 'territory factories,' and 'Maison France Service' centres delivering public services in rural areas.
