Interreg Baltic Sea Region – eRural Resilience

How well do you support rural digital bio-business?

A free self-assessment for advisers and support organisations. Around 10 minutes, immediate results.

Rural regions across the Baltic Sea Region hold enormous potential for digital bio-economy businesses – but that potential only becomes real when the people advising and supporting those businesses have the right competencies. This self-assessment helps you and your organisation see clearly where your strengths lie and where targeted development would pay off most.

What you will assess

The questionnaire covers the core competence areas that e-bio-business supporters need in their daily work. You rate your current practice in each area, and your answers are combined into a single competence profile.

01

Business and management

02

Digital Know-how

03

Biological production and sustainability

04

Networking

How it works
1

Answer the questionnaire.

Rate your current practice for each statement on a simple 1–5 scale. If a statement does not apply to your role, just select "does not apply to my job profile" – it will not count against your result.

2

See your competence profile.

Your answers are visualised immediately as a profile across all competence areas, so you can see at a glance where you are already strong and where there is room to grow.

3

Get tailored recommendations.

For every competence area you receive feedback matched to your score, together with links to training material and practical resources from the eRural Resilience project.

Who this is for

The tool is made for advisers and staff in business support organisations – chambers, development agencies, innovation centres, LEADER groups and rural networks – as well as local administrations working on rural development, bio-economy or digitalisation. Individual consultants and anyone else supporting rural bio-businesses are equally welcome to use it.

Start your self-assessment

Enter your e-mail address to begin. You can return to your results later using the same address.


Your e-mail address is used only to save and retrieve your own results. It is never passed on to third parties.

No unique business e-mail address? Only the part after the @ is used: it groups your answers with those of your colleagues from the same organisation, so that an organisation-level profile can be produced. If you do not have a unique business address – for example because you use a private gmail.com or web.de address – simply make one up with a domain that belongs to your organisation, e.g. yourname@my-organisation.eu. The address does not have to exist: no e-mail is ever sent to it and it is never passed on to third parties. Just remember which address you used and share it with your colleagues.
