Universities are key actors in the raising graduates ready for the digital transition with advanced digital skills. For the active workforce, Digital Innovation Hubs and competence centres are responding to advancing companies and employers digital skills.

During the event Towards 20 million ICT specialists by 2030: how Europe is training its digital experts on 2 June, the AI4GOV master and I4MS Digital Innovation Hubs shared their experience with the audience.
