MAP Position Paper (Norbotten, Sweden) - Digitalisation in rural areas

This Multi-Actor Platform (MAP) position paper was developed within the Horizon 2020 project, Sustainable Hub to Engage into Rural Policies with Actors (SHERPA). The Swedish MAP is located in Norrbotten, a large region in the north of Sweden. One of the reasons for choosing digitalisation as a topic in MAP Norrbotten is the potential of digital services in this and large sparsely populated region. Another aspect is the problem of uneven access to fast broadband connection, which can increase digital exclusion, especially when the digital transformation will speed up. This Position Paper for MAP Norrbotten has been developed throughout workshops and meetings with the MAP members during 2022
