Brussels, Tuesday, 7 April 2026. The European project 5G-DiGITs, co-funded by the Erasmus+ programme of the European Union, has reinforced its commitment to strengthening digital skills across Europe through its participation in the “Intercafé” segment on Radio Intereconomía Valencia. During the broadcast, Massimiliano Dragoni, representing project partner Finnova, discussed how the project contributes to the twin digital and green transition and supports workforce adaptation in an evolving industrial landscape.
Empowering the healthcare sector on World Health Day
Coinciding with World Health Day, the interview provided a timely opportunity to underscore how technologies like 5G, Artificial Intelligence, IoT, and robotics are revolutionizing the health sector. Massimiliano emphasized that equipping professionals with these advanced digital skills is crucial for developing innovative medical solutions—from telemedicine and remote patient monitoring to AI-driven diagnostics—ultimately contributing to a more resilient, efficient, and sustainable healthcare system.
Advancing digital skills for a changing industrial ecosystem
During the interview, Massimiliano also outlined the core mission of 5G-DiGITs: to develop a European learning platform that enables both young talent and experienced professionals to acquire and update advanced digital competencies. The initiative addresses the growing demand for skills aligned with Industry 4.0, ensuring that individuals can effectively integrate emerging technologies into their professional environments.
He highlighted that the project focuses on practical and accessible training pathways, allowing learners from different sectors to remain competitive in a labour market increasingly shaped by digitalisation and sustainability challenges.
Bridging the skills gap through key enabling technologies
A central point of the discussion was the importance of equipping the European workforce with cutting-edge technological knowledge. Massimiliano emphasised that 5G-DiGITs promotes training in key areas that are rapidly transforming industrial processes and business models.
By fostering these competencies, the project contributes to reducing the skills gap and supporting innovation across sectors, in line with broader European priorities for digital transformation and sustainable growth. This approach reflects the project’s objective of aligning education and training systems with real labour market needs.
A European platform for continuous learning and employability
The intervention also underlined the inclusive dimension of 5G-DiGITs, which targets both students entering the labour market and professionals seeking to upskill or reskill. Through its educational platform, the project provides opportunities for continuous learning, enabling users to adapt to technological change and enhance their employability.
As demonstrated in previous project activities, 5G-DiGITs places a strong emphasis on collaboration with industry stakeholders to ensure that its training content remains relevant, practical, and aligned with current market demands.
Strengthening Europe’s twin transition
The participation in Radio Intereconomía Valencia highlights the growing visibility of 5G-DiGITs as a key initiative supporting Europe’s digital and green transition. By combining technological innovation with targeted skills development, the project contributes to building a more resilient, competitive, and future-ready European workforce.
