The theme for this year’s conference is:
Unearthing diversification and adapting to a new tomorrow
Diversification is an important way in which businesses or regions can expand or develop and increase their economic strength and capacity.
Identifying regional opportunities for diversification is a key economic development strategy and is a priority action now more than ever before. Emerging technology, data optimisation and automation are all driving industries not previously envisioned.
Regions are often well placed with large green field sites, potential for independent energy, and a propensity for innovation to embrace diversification.
Regions enable diversification by identifying, promoting and providing opportunities to participate in emerging product markets; working to ensure appropriate infrastructure and freight logistics; tapping into supporting practices that will encourage businesses to strengthen their capabilities and expand or shift to new activities through information dissemination and communication.
The Action Agendas for the conference are:
If you, or region or your business is doing something exciting in regional, rural and remote share it at SEGRA 2021. The Call for Papers flyer can be viewed here.
