Descripción del proyecto
Una herramienta para reducir la brecha digital entre todas las regiones
El desarrollo sostenible, equilibrado e inclusivo de las zonas rurales, costeras y urbanas depende del acceso a la conectividad de último tramo y a las soluciones de computación perimetral. Las herramientas de apoyo al desarrollo empresarial y a la toma de decisiones en la selección de un ecosistema de tecnologías son importantes para aumentar la resiliencia a las interrupciones y deficiencias de la cadena de suministro. En este contexto, el equipo del proyecto financiado con fondos europeos Xgain adoptará un enfoque orientado a los profesionales para desarrollar una herramienta de facilitación del conocimiento (Knowledge Facilitation Tool), diseñada para favorecer el desarrollo de modelos de negocio y apoyar la toma de decisiones en la selección de un ecosistema de tecnologías. El objetivo general es acelerar la adopción de las soluciones de XGain por parte de la comunidad más amplia y garantizar la maximización del impacto para lograr un desarrollo sostenible, equilibrado e inclusivo de las zonas rurales.
Objetivo
New trends such as teleworking and e-commerce, as well as the need for a further increase of digital tools in all sectors (i.e. health, education, transportation, farming, etc.) demanded by the Covid-19 pandemic, are pointing out once again digital territorial inequalities, supply-chain disruptions and deficiencies in economic opportunities that hamper resilience and prosperity of rural communities. Accessibility and connectivity are key issues to mitigate this erosion of socio-territorial cohesion. However, identifying a common solution for equipping rural communities with increased access to services, opportunities and adequate innovation ecosystems ensuring that no one left behind is a challenging task, mainly due to the diversity of challenges and needs of different locations. In this respect, XGain fosters a sustainable, balanced and inclusive development of rural, coastal and urban areas by facilitating access to relevant stakeholders, such as municipalities, policymakers, farmers, foresters and their associations, to a comprehensive inventory of smart XG, last-mile connectivity and edge computing solutions, and of related assessment methods. The XGain overall project objective is, to deliver a Knowledge Facilitation Tool, facilitating business model development, supporting decision-making in the selection of an ecosystem of technologies, consisting of connectivity options and edge processing solutions, by following a multi-actor and practitioner-oriented approach, and by coherently assessing their socio-economic and techno-environmental effects, aiming at: increasing systemic resilience and energy efficiency; contributing to climate mitigation; and reducing the digital divides between different types of citizens, farms, sectors and regions.
