AI + Human:
The Perfect Blend for Europe’s Digital Transformation

The European Union possesses a vast pool of talent, but fully harnessing it remains a challenge. The EU Commission's Joint Research Centre (JRC) highlights a critical issue: "digital under-skilling." This concept extends beyond a mere lack of technical skills—it reflects a deeper concern that workers feel unprepared to meet the demands of rapidly evolving digital roles.

This feeling of unpreparedness is not limited to employees; employers, too, are grappling with the challenges of adapting to the rapid pace of digital transformation. EU firms report significant difficulties in finding talent with the right skill set, with 40.6% facing recruitment challenges, compared to just 29.2% outside the EU.

To tackle these obstacles, EU organisations are employing strategies such as upskilling their workforce, subcontracting, and adopting advanced technologies. However, despite these efforts, skill shortages remain a persistent barrier, underscoring the urgent need for a comprehensive approach to bridging the skills gap in this digital era.

Bridging the Gap: The EU’s Digital Decade Goals

The EU's Digital Decade prioritises digital skills as essential to achieving sustainability, resilience, and technological sovereignty. Key goals by 2030 include:

• 80% of adults acquire basic digital skills.
• Employing 20 million ICT specialists.
• Increasing women’s participation in the ICT sector to close the gender gap.

Europe’s digital transformation needs more than advanced technologies. It requires a workforce equipped to lead, innovate, and adapt. Achieving this vision means finding the perfect constructive collaboration between digital and AI’s precision and a human-centric approach that values creativity and collaboration.
