How to be smart and sustainable in the same time?

The underdeveloped (...) can become a value in the context of 2020-2030?

In case of developing countries, are Smart Specialization Strategies reflecting small cities and rural area? Is community entrepreneurship supported? What is the role of Business Incubators in smart and sustainable transformation?

How can Business Incubators become main enablers of sustainable and smart regional development?

What is happening with already existing entities as Business Incubators, Clusters in the context of European Digital Innovation HUB program?

What is, or what can be the relation between them and how can rural areas get more space in the above-mentioned transformation?

Are there instruments for small cities, knowing the fact that in Europe, small cities represent between one-fifth and one-third of the population ?
