Abstract: "This brief presents JRC analyses exploring entrepreneurship and business dynamics across EU territories. The evidence confirms urban–rural gaps in firm creation, high-growth enterprises, and especially in the startup landscape, while also highlighting distinctive strengths and success stories showing that rural areas can be engines of growth not only in sectors often associated with rural economies, but also in more diversified and knowledge-intensive activities. These findings point to untapped entrepreneurial potential of rural territories and the need for place-based policies to turn it into a driver of Europe’s competitiveness."
