What is the digital transition? Digital technology is changing the way we live and work but there is a gap between the digital 'haves' and 'have nots'. To ensure that everyone benefits, the EU wants to see more training in digital skills, helping start-ups and small businesses innovate and grow and using technology to become climate-neutral. At the moment 42% of Europeans don’t have basic digital skills. By 2030, the goal is that at least 80% of all adults should have basic digital skills. There should also be 20 million employed ICT (Information and Communications Technology) specialists, with a higher percentage of women taking up these roles.
