The regional innovation performance is different in regions and lower in rural areas.The regional innovation performance is different in regions and lower in rural areas. The ICT acts play more and more important role in innovation processes in rural areas. The new requirements for developing new application and services is to increase the wireless and broadband services. Some EU supported RTD project served to develop the agri-food sector and rural areas. The National Development Strategies and Rural Development Strategies may help to grow the broadband penetration in rural areas. Collaborative Working Environment can be perceived as the tools, technologies, services and environments supporting individual persons in their working tasks to become more creative, innovative and productive involving the direct or indirect interaction (collaboration) with other individuals, groups or organizations. Collaborative platforms providing sophisticated upper middleware services required for environment and person-aware distributed collaboration. There were more EU projects focusing to collaborative tools and systems. The objective of the AMI@netfood project was to support the implementation of the IST Research Priority and Framework Programme, providing a long-term vision on future trends on Scientific and Technology Research oriented to the development and application of Ambient Intelligence technologies to the agri-food domain. The e-Learning and e-Training are more and more important domain where we can use collaborative tools, collaborative working environment. The European NODES project had a target group who are liniving in rural areas. For agriculture and rural areas the C@R project may contribute to design the European standard.
