Combating rural depopulation
EDP took part in the fifth edition of the Imperdible05 Innovation Festival, organized by Cotec, in Otero de Herreros, in the province of Segovia, Spain. The free initiative, which was attended by 2,000 people, was the stage for the presentation of 25 innovation projects designed in rural areas with the aim of combating depopulation.
EDP was present with Entama, an innovative program to support social and territorial development, which, in its three editions, has already supported 25 projects, created more than 50 jobs and earned more than 4 euros for every euro invested.
At the "Entama Station" stand, participants had the chance to take a fun quiz on sustainability, with the aim of winning tickets for the "Paradise Train", which made a total of 40 journeys from Brañagallones to Otero de Herreros, transporting around 600 people.
On the opening day of the festival, June 10, which was attended by King Felipe VI, Cotec brought more than 600 students, aged between 10 and 15, from 14 schools across Castilla y León. Children and adults had a range of activities on offer, including games, tastings of food grown in the small towns, demonstrations of rural folklore and traditional music, among others.
