Since the ominous arrival of the pandemic caused by COVID 19, the world is making a 360-degree shift towards digital transformation. The region of Castilla y León is the province with the oldest population and the most depopulated rural territory.

It is already a reality that digital connectivity in rural areas is being considered in order to attract young people or to prevent them from migrating to the cities. The European Commission is working to prevent the rural exodus, especially of young people with innovative solutions.
