DIGITALEUROPE invites you to join a Digital Deep Dives session where we will discuss our fieldwork and initiatives to bring digital skills to people and companies in key sectors and meaningfully fuel the discussion around the 2023 European Year of Skills.
We will look at the upcoming European Data Space for Skills, discuss use cases, and capture the views of the policymakers and industry players on cybersecurity upskilling and reskilling — and the new Cybersecurity Skills Academy.
