Rural Technological Development Association
Villages can make a living from technology too.
We are a non-profit association creating tech opportunities in rural areas. We drive the Rural Tech Movement (Movimiento Tecnológico Rural): making room in villages for remote work and tech companies too.
01 · What we do
Two ways of bringing technology to the village
Both help. But the second one is what drives us.
02 · The Rural Tech Movement
Industry emptied the villages. Technology can fill them again.
What we mean by rural
- Small villagesMunicipalities with fewer than 5,000 inhabitants, and above all fewer than 2,000. Including the hamlet with 40 residents.
- With their own economyPeople make a living in the village or nearby: farming, livestock, tourism and services.
- Not commuter townsTheir economy does not depend on a nearby city.
What we do: make it easy for those who want to come
03 · Flagship project
Vivir en un Pueblo
A collaborative digital platform for people who want to move to a village: real information about each place, jobs, housing, services and a local who answers your questions.

04 · Drone and 360º
Walk around the village before you go
We film villages by drone, in 360º tours and in interviews so anyone can get to know them from home. Tap a village to watch its drone video, step into its 360º tour or hear from the people who live there.

05 · Projects
Since 2020, from idea to village
06 · Who we are
A multidisciplinary team and an ever-growing network
The association has its own technical team and, around it, a large network of collaborators: entrepreneurs, freelancers, companies, town councils and residents who believe a village is also a good place to work in tech.
We are not a traditional NGO. We are non-profit, but we know that reaching our goals takes financial viability. We want to change rural reality in a sustainable and professional way.
Our base
Ansó, Huesca (Spain)
Our first operational base is the coworking space in Ansó, in the Aragonese Pyrenees: the starting point to work close to residents, town councils and services, test ways to attract remote workers and show that a small village can be a place for innovation.
