EUROPEAN STARTUP VILLAGE - ATTRACTING REMOTE WORKERS AND JOB CREATION INITIATIVE

Powered by Abodoo

CONCEPT:

The objective of this pledge is to support European Startup Villages in attracting remote workers, investment and sustainable jobs in this new world of work and opportunity.

These two Startup Village awards and discounted pledge will promote regional rebalancing, retain and attract skills and help rural areas reach their full potential whilst also aligning with the concepts supported by the European Commission.

Note: Potential definition of startup village:
It is related to villages willing to execute activities helping themselves to become stronger, connected, resilient and prosperous areas and communities, having approximately a population equal or lower than 15.000 inhabitants.

SOLUTION:

The Startup Village Platform developed by Abodoo is a visual and interactive citizen map of your Startup Village containing all of the key information and insights needed to attract remote workers, create jobs and support rural regeneration. This is an incredible opportunity for Villages to showcase themselves as a live work destination and reverse the brain drain.

The Startup Village Platform visualises all of the data a remote worker or company would like to review before deciding the Village is their new work life destination. For every worker that relocates to the Startup Village or new job created there is an economic impact of 2.5 services jobs created leading to economic prosperity with limited investment.

START UP VILLAGE PLATFORM – 4 KEY ELEMENTS

The Start Up Village Pledge includes four key elements to support your Village in driving inwards people and company investment.

1. The “Live and Work in…” promotional landing page

We create a Live and Work landing page for each Village, highlighting the key reasons why it is a wonderful place to locate to.

Abodoo creates a “Live and Work” promotional landing page, which is the first engagement point with potential new resident remote workers that are realising they can work from anywhere.

Abodoo Platform

This landing page can be hosted by the Village or by Abodoo and its purpose is to entice the reader to enter their name and email address in order to access more information.

2. An interactive visualisation of the Village showcasing key assets
