Rural Development seminar in Mikkeli

The Finnish MAMBA-partners, including the Regional Council of South Ostrobothnia, the South Ostrobothnia Health Technology Development Centre and the Regional Council of North Karelia participated in the Rural Development Seminar in Mikkeli. This event included a project presentation and thematic discussions with rural-transport-experts.

The seminar took place from 30 to 31 August 2018 and was useful in many ways. The Finnish project partners had the chance to present the MAMBA project and also learned about other similar ongoing projects in Finland. Among the most interesting discussion partners was the Regional Council of South Savo, which faces similar structural challenges as MAMBA’s Finnish partner regions and develops various projects on rural mobility together with the Finnish Innovation Fund (Sitra).
