We have recently announced launch of our regular weekly series of articles, focused on Web3 labour market. As recruitment professionals, we put high emphasis on labour market insights, as they help inform many of our stakeholders’ strategic decisions.
From our experience, many of the young and fast growing businesses get turned off by high fees charged by large market research companies and often end up making key decisions based on assumptions or anecdotal feedback received by either external market participants or internal team members.
Good news is, that there are some valuable resources you can leverage as a business owner or leader, at no additional cost to your business.
In our articles, we will do our best not only to bring the data to you, but to also provide the important context, that’s why we are going to start with a series of introductions of key groups and associations behind the reports, some of which you might even be able to become an active member of.
We are going to start with Europe but will ultimately be covering global markets.
With the introduction out of the way, we are now going to take a look at Digital Europe, an important organization behind many European Union – driven initiatives and market analyses, that are very likely going to inform the direction that EU will take with regards to some heavily debated topics.
Digital Europe
Digital Europe ( www.digitaleurope.org ) is an European Union – funded membership organization, addressing digital transformation across selected, digitally transforming. industries, in a complex and comprehensive way.
The organization, headquartered in Brussels, refers to itself as “The voice of digitally transforming industries”. It consists of 20 executive board members, holding executive – level positions at large technology companies (such as SAP, CISCO, Google, Microsoft etc) and European associations, such as Estonian ICT Association and others and 55 staff members, mostly responsible for communications, project coordination / management and member care and relations.
All staff and board member profiles can be viewed on the website, including their contact details.
There are currently 11 projects under Digital Europe umbrella, each with different scope, but generally focused on one or more of the following areas:
- digital skills
- diversity and inclusion
- digital health
- green and digital twin transition
The one that we will be diving into in our regular series, is project CHAISE (BlockCHAIn Skills for Europe). In our weekly series of short articles we are going to summarize the most important aspects of this project, including the project goal, plan, , members, governance and, finally, provide a deep dive into their blockchain labour market report.
