Empowering Women in Digital 💡

• Women represent just 17% of ICT students in the EU, highlighting the urgent need for early intervention. (Eurostat 2018).

• The global digital economy is projected to create 150 million new tech jobs by 2025 (WEF), and we must ensure women are equally represented in this growth.

• Gender disparity remains a critical issue in tech, with only 19% of ICT specialists in Europe being women (Eurostat 2023).

The Women in Digital kick-off event was a major milestone in fostering greater gender diversity in the tech space. The initiative aims to bridge the digital gender gap, offering mentorship, networking, and training opportunities for women in technology. At BluSpecs, we are committed to championing inclusivity and ensuring women have equal access to digital opportunities.

Is your organisation ready for CEI technologies? 🚀

Adopting Cloud, Edge, and IoT (CEI) technologies is essential for staying competitive, but many organisations struggle to assess their readiness. The CEI-LING tool, developed under the EU’s UNLOCK-CEI initiative, provides a structured self-assessment across five key pillars: Organisation, Financial, Technology, Risk & Compliance, and Industry & Market.

Key insights from CEI-LING users:

• Sector Readiness – ICT leads adoption (26%), followed by manufacturing (16%), with many organisations still evaluating CEI’s potential.

• Investment & Growth – Businesses investing in CEI technologies are identifying new revenue streams.

• Compliance Matters – Stronger certification frameworks correlate with higher CEI readiness, highlighting a key area for improvement.

CEI-LING offers practical insights to help organisations bridge gaps in their digital strategy.

Bridging the talent gap in the Cloud-to-Edge era ☁️➡️📡

The cloud-to-edge continuum is transforming industries, but do we have the talent to keep up?

It’s not just about having cloud or IoT expertise—it’s about applying that expertise in the right context. From embedded systems engineers to cloud architects, the demand for highly specialised skills is greater than ever.

How can businesses bridge this gap? Collaboration between industry and education, investment in upskilling, and fostering domain-specific expertise will be key to keeping pace with technological advancements.
