Abstract:
Digital tools can open access to larger customer bases, offer affordable ways to promote products, and support the use of online payment systems. Beyond business, these technologies can improve people’s quality of life—by boosting income, offering better access to banking, and supporting education. Emerging trends such as e-commerce growth, the use of smart farming technologies, and digital financial services suggest that rural areas are on the brink of significant change. To take full advantage of these opportunities, focused efforts are needed. This includes investing in better internet infrastructure, promoting digital education, and developing policies that support rural innovation.
