Village of the future 2.0
The pilot villages for the Village of the Future 2.0 project have been selected. The pilot villages will develop their operations around their chosen Smart Village theme: image, energy or digitalization.
The project is co-funded by the European Union.
Imago villages
Imago villages - Let's create stories from the villages that invite and inspire. The village can create a strong brand and identity that makes the village attractive. The village can shape a visual identity, implement marketing campaigns, organize community events and strengthen digital visibility.
In each theme, six villages or groups of villages are taken to pilot new operating models. Ideas are taken forward with the help of industry experts in thematic workshops. The workshops are implemented provincially, and local workshops are also held if necessary. The workshops and their expert services are free of charge for those participating in the project, and some of the development measures can be carried out within the framework of the project. Villages participating in the project for village-specific acquisitions and development activities receive increased project support: 90% support for development and 80% support for investments.

Energy villages
Energy villages - The village can aim for self-sufficiency and sustainability through, for example, energy surveys and renewable energy. The village can map and utilize the possibilities of renewable energy, reduce waste, strengthen the circular economy and recycling, favor local production and test new energy technologies. The village can also plan sustainable consumption trainings and community projects.

Villages of digital services
Villages of digital services - Digitality brings the world to every home. The village can develop its own digital services, use health and wellness services electronically, or create communal digital platforms. The village can also promote the residents' digital skills and combine it with the smoothness of everyday life.
