Planned approach and implementation
** Denna text är maskinöversatt ** The network has met a number of times (physically and digitally) in pure network meetings, conferences, study visits and Drive-Swedenmöten, to both share knowledge internally and bring external input to the network´s dialogues. The knowledge and understanding has been nuanced as part of the network´s work and resulted in 4 multifaceted project applications. Two conferences were also organized in rural areas, in Storuman and in Dorotea, where local businesses and the local community were invited. They are named Smartbygd & Inlandsmässan.
