The European Union needs to fill the digital skills gap to ensure that today’s workforce has the necessary tools to employ existing technologies and to create the workforce of tomorrow.
‘Think Digital!’ is a joint initiative by the European Office of the Konrad-Adenauer-Stiftung, ZVEI. Die Elektroindustrie, Google, and Siemens. This year-long series provides a platform to discuss the opportunities and challenges of digital transformation for the European economy and society. Our 5th session focussed on innovative and competitive businesses and Europe’s needs for digital skills. We were happy to welcome as speakers Siegfried Mureșan MEP, André Richier from the European Commission’s DG Growth, Ute Poerschke, CEO of Elschukom GmbH, as well as Daniel Haglage, CEO of Makeke GmbH. The event was moderated by Paul MacDonnell, Executive Director of the Global Digital Foundation.
