The Commission is investing over EUR 50 million across the Digital Skills Academies, which combine academic education with short-term training, aim to increase participation of women in ICT careers, and support skills mobility across Europe rather than each country building isolated training capacity. For manufacturers, this matters most where the technology areas overlap with production: the AI Academy is explicitly designed to align with the AI Factories and EuroHPC infrastructure this ecosystem's readers already rely on, while the Virtual Worlds Academy builds the skills base for XR-based design and virtual commissioning tools increasingly used in production planning.
