Description

Entrepreneurship has a long history associated with economic development, innovation, and social transformation. Its value is more heightened in remote rural communities where some traditional economic sectors like agriculture, forestry, or fishing are primarily practiced but insufficient to ensure continued sustainable development in such areas. This chapter discusses how entrepreneurship is very crucial in ensuring the resilience of remote rural areas. It utilizes a comprehensive review of academic literature, journals, and research papers. Entrepreneurship is a crucial motor for strengthening the resilience of remote rural populations. Through the stimulation of economic stability, the creation of social cohesion, and the fostering of adaptive capacity, it provides an entry road to sustainable development. However, there is a strong need to resolve the unique problems that rural entrepreneurs face and have an ecosystem to foster innovation and growth. 2025, IGI Global Scientific Publishing.
