Abstract
This paper outlines the development of a Rural Digital Hub Guide. Digital hubs comprise one of a
range of solutions that policymakers can implement in rural regions to promote digital engagement
among communities and businesses. The guide was developed as part of an Interreg VB North Sea
Europe Programme which focussed on testing innovative solutions to the Urban-rural digital divide
by improving digital skills, services and infrastructure. This paper explains how the Rural Digital Hub
Guide was researched and developed, the creation of a typology of digital hubs and the key steps
that policymakers need to consider when establishing a digital hub in their region.
