One of the key themes of this year’s Conference is the social challenges of Economy 4.0. Digital transformation is not only about technologies, tools, and innovation - it is, above all, about people...

As emphasized by the Chair of the Organizing Committee, Dr. hab. Bogusław Plawgo, Professor at the University of Białystok:

“In the digital revolution we are witnessing, the key challenge is not access to technology itself, but people’s ability to keep pace with technological change. Without a revolution in the competencies of employees, managers, and entire societies, we will not only fail to benefit from new opportunities - we will risk losing our future”. 

This is precisely why discussions on human capital, as well as the competencies of managers and employees, have become some of the most important topics in the debate on Economy 4.0.
