Heading the agenda: Employment, Capital and Europe

“LISBON TECH WEEK” works on the conditions that are paramount for a top innovation region. The programme 2016 – 2020 contains three priorities: an innovative approach to the employment market, more accessible capital for innovative companies and extend European cooperation.

The Employment theme

There is no innovation and international competitiveness without sufficient well qualified personnel. In that respect, Lisbon is confronted by relevant challenges. There is still more demand than supply when it comes to engineering and technology talent, especially in view of the rapid emergence of many new ICT- driven jobs. How is Lisbon overcoming such challenge?

The Capital theme

Access to capital for innovative SME Companies that want to grow is crucial for economic growth and employment. Also for Skilled Talent that wishes to relocate and work in Lisbon is important to experience a wide number of highly attractive job opportunities, which potential employers are supported by a professional network of public and private organizations.

• The Executive Agency for Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (EASME) has been set-up by the European Commission to manage on its behalf several EU programmes. The agency´s vision is; 'We aim to help create a more competitive and resource-efficient European economy based on knowledge and innovation’.

• The Enterprise Europe Network (represented in Portugal by IAPMEI) helps small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) make the most of business opportunities in the EU and beyond. More than 600 member organisations, including chambers of commerce and industry, technology centres, universities and development agencies provide many free of charge services. Lisbon Tech Week event powered by Cross Border Talents Group strives to support SMES (and Talent willing to work in Lisbon for such SMEs) by having experts from EASME and IAPMEI explaining how SMEs can have access to capital (public, crowd funding etc) and how EEN local point of contact can support their activities.

The European Cooperation Theme

The European Union itself is "founded on the values of respect for human dignity, freedom, democracy, equality, the rule of law and respect for human rights, including the rights of persons belonging to minorities in a society in which pluralism, non-discrimination, tolerance, justice, solidarity and equality between women and men prevail.
Today when the foundations of Europe seems to be tested on a daily basis it is time for nowadays Europeans to be proud of what their antecessors have created and work together to contribute to solve the skills shortage drama imposed by the digital revolution.

By 2020 millions of Europeans are not going to fit the labour market because their skills have become obsolete due to industry 4.0.

Will the Europeans overcome such challenge? Yes. Lets work together on the how part.
