In an era of rapid technological and environmental shifts, we are facing fundamental changes in the labor market. Our pitch could address these key questions:

  • Demographic Change: With a predicted increase in the population over 65 and a decline in the number of working-age individuals, we are confronted with the challenge of optimally utilizing our available workforce. What strategies can companies and policymakers adopt to actively manage this demographic transition?
  • Digitalization and Automation:Artificial intelligence, automation, and technological advancements are radically transforming existing job roles. While new job profiles are emerging, many traditional roles are disappearing. How can we manage this transition and foster the necessary skills and competencies for the future?
  • New Work Models and Green Jobs: In the face of an acute shortage of skilled workers: especially in areas such as IT, finance, technology, and sales: we must tap into underutilized resources, including part-time workers, women, and older employees. Additionally, the challenges posed by the climate crisis present opportunities for green jobs that are not only environmentally sustainable but also economically promising.
