Surely we will all agree that digital literacy brings countless benefits in both our personal and professional lives. Unfortunately, digitally untrained people, most often of the older generation (50+), find it difficult to cope with new technologies and therefore they often remain disadvantaged by the possibilities of the digital world.

In the TalentMagnet project we prepared study and a good practice catalogue to attract and retent talents in the region.

DEX Innovation centre was hosting a free webinar on How to Become a Business Angel on October 14th! Martin F. Herrmann is an experienced Angel Investor and Mentor, who is going to share his insights and advice on how to start investing in startups.

A special project, co-funded by the EU funds on the Danube transnational programme, gathers together partners from 8 countries on digital competencies for people over 50 years. “Building of digital entrepreneurial capacities of the elderly through the innovative training system”, or eDigiStars project aims to develop sustainable ecosystems which successfully turn older workers into digital self-employed entrepreneurs, helping both people to get desired skills as well as companies to remain competitive. 

What are the factors young talent find essential in a talent-friendly city? What can local stakeholders do to attract and retain young talents? Representatives of young generations tend to move to bigger cities because of promising job opportunities and a vivid lifestyle. However, they usually have a strong emotional bond with their hometowns. Small and medium-sized cities of the Danube Region can build on this emotional attachment and capitalize on the positive characteristics of cities to magnetize talents back when they are about to settle down. 

In Aarhus, all partners were trained as a basis for educating young people in the participating regions.

InnnoSchool 2.0 is an improved and more user-friendly version of our learning system, which reflects the designs and ideas of students, teachers, but also partners who have used this system in practice.

Good Practice Catalogue Includes results of related research, definitions of key terms, activities being done by various cities in this field across Europe, and documented best practices from the knowledge providers. Catalogue also capitalises the results of three projects with similar topic (EDU LAB, Youmming, Attractive DANUBE). It also contains the material to support stakeholder engagement, dissemination and policy work.

The digitization of health care has been talked about for many years. Its goal is an effective way to improve the quality of treatment and patient care. It can be done in various ways. The first option is a centralized approach, requiring a large investment. The second option is decentralized, slower and based on the needs of patients, doctors and other health professionals. Experts on digitization and innovation presented their experience during EIT Health Morning Health Talks 2021 series, which is organized in the Czech Republic by DEX Innovation Centre.
