Business Development
For rural and remote communities to compete/survive/thrive in our fast changing world they must adopt new and focused business /economic development strategies. Successful communities and entrepreneurs identify economic opportunities and find unique ways to build upon what they already have. They use existing assets, and look for new ways to produce and market products and services.
