About the INPROFUTURE Project

Our project, named: “Mapping of SME Digital Transformation – Industry Professionals Future Education” (INPROFUTURE) will be implemented in field “Adult education” under action “KA220-ADU – Cooperation partnerships in adult education” as part of ERASMUS+ Programme (Grant).

The project “INPROFUTURE – Industry Professional’s Future Education” is inspired by the partners long time experience working with SME national settings, but it is also inspired by the EU Commissions proposal of March 2021 to establish a Digital Compass to further target the EUʼs digital ambitions 2030 for SMEs and their employees.

The “INPROFUTURE” project focus on the cardinal point of Digital transformation of businesses and how to make possible and concrete that by 2030, three out of four SME companies should use cloud computing services, big data and Artificial Intelligence and how we can promote and ensure more than 90% SMEs should reach at least basic level of digital intensity in order to lift the number of EU unicorns to the double.

The “INPROFUTURE” project has been established to introduce tools and methods which will support SMEs management and educator of digital skills to empower employees with the right and necessary digital skills. Management by being able to recognise the needs for skills and realisation of how better digital skills among their staff positively can affect their business. And educators with tools that will make them better able to create tailored digital skills training that meet both employees’ and employers’ needs.
