Abstract


Currently, through policies at European level and through programs and measures adopted at national level, the aim is to reduce urban-rural disparities. In Romania, entrepreneurship in rural areas was encouraged through numerous programs aimed at facilitating the diversification of the rural economy and implicitly, the development of the rural area. The purpose of the paper is to analyze the rural area of Timis County in terms of the number of existing companies and the main areas of activity, thus outlining a succinct picture of the diversity of business in the rural area.
