On 15 and 16 October, LEADSx2030 and Connecting Women in Digital, in partnership with the European Commission, National Coalitions, agencies and local partners, will host the Digital Talent EU Days.
What does Europe do when the demand for digital talent keeps growing faster than the pipeline behind it?The Digital Talent EU Days 2026 will bring this question to Dublin, gathering stakeholders from all EU Member States to focus on talent development, talent attraction and talent retention.
During this two-day event, the agenda will concentrate on the priorities of Europe's digital workforce, including:
-
Bridging Europe's digital skills gap, new ways for talent development, influence of GenAI, evolving cyber roles and Vocational and Educational Training (VET) pathways;
-
Talent attraction, international mobility, upskilling and reskilling;
-
Deep tech growth, innovation and Europe's digital competitiveness;
-
Women in ICT and the outcomes of the Women in Digital Forum Thematic Working Groups.
Aligned with the Digital Decade Policy Programme, the Union of Skills and the AI Continent Action Plan, this year’s edition aims to demonstrate Europe’s collective leadership and Ireland’s role in developing and attracting digital specialists for globally competitive innovation.
Registration is now open on the Digital Talent EU Days webpage, where the detailed agenda is also available.
