Three issues lead our LAG to plan to promote our region new tools: - An experimental project with fibre optic equipment in rural areas, allowing access to very high speed broadband; - The affirmation of the tourism in mobility, from smartphones; - The issue of opening public data (opendata) following the European Inspire directive. Cooperation would provide us a real added value. It will make it possible to have means and initiatives in common and to move forward together to respond to these challenges, new to rural areas.

The LAG Pays du Grand Bergeracois is a rural region (105,000 inhabitants - 50 inhabitants /km²) located in south-west France (Dordogne / Aquitaine).
