TechConnect is a collaborative initiative designed to assess and enhance Human-Tech Skill Complementarity across multiple sectors. The project employs a variety of methodologies, including policy analysis, stakeholder engagement, workshops, surveys, case studies, and the creation of practical guidelines. The consortium is composed of academic institutions, industry partners, and public sector organisations, ensuring a comprehensive approach to the development and dissemination of knowledge.
By involving technology associations, professional groups, and government entities, the project aims to foster cross-sectoral collaboration that will ultimately drive Europe’s competitiveness in the digital age. Representing a diverse geographical spread across Europe, the consortium includes partners from Ireland, Sweden, Spain, and the Netherlands, along with a strong network of hospital partners that will play a pivotal role in ensuring the successful delivery of the project.
