PRESS RELEASE
Commission issues action call in Davos – with IT sector and telecoms companies – to close digital skills and jobs gap in Europe
(25 January 2013) Europe faces up to 700.000 unfilled ICT jobs and declining competitiveness. The number of digital jobs is growing – by 3% each year during the crisis – but the number of new ICT graduates and other skilled ICT workers is shrinking. Our youth need actions not words, and companies operating in Europe need the right people or they will move operations elsewhere. Today, the Commission is issuing a call to action to companies, governments, educators, social partners, employment service providers and civil society to join us in a massive effort to «turn the tide». Young Europeans should have the tools to enter digital careers or to create jobs as entrepreneurs.

EVENT ANNOUNCEMENT
‘Build, Connect, Grow: Make Business in the Digital Single Market’
21 February 2013 Brussels, Belgium
Business and usage opportunities that are created by the Large Scale Pilot (LSP) projects for digital public services will be discussed. The event will give an insight on how to be active participants in the coming developments of new Pan-European cross border public services. Some of the topics that are going to be addressed are: What business opportunities exist for ICT industries under the new European Commission’s initiatives? What can we learn from LSPs past experience/results, especially concerning the promotion of the Digital Single Market? How can the ICT industry, through the facilitation of LSPs, contribute to economic growth within the EU?
