Empowering Tomorrow: AI, Skills, and Global Competence
As Artificial Intelligence (AI) reshapes every industry, the demand for a future-ready, AI-literate workforce has never been greater. According to the World Economic Forum, AI is expected to create 97 million new jobs globally by 2025, yet a significant talent gap persists—particularly in emerging economies like India. A 2023 Microsoft-IDC report highlights that over 83% of Indian businesses are accelerating AI adoption, but over 70% face challenges in finding skilled talent.
"Empowering Tomorrow: AI, Skills, and Global Competence" explores how academia and industry can collaborate to bridge this gap. ICT Academy BRIDGE convenes educators, policymakers, and business leaders to address education transformation, workforce upskilling, and global certification pathways. The focus is on equipping youth with cutting-edge AI skills while nurturing the soft skills and global mindset needed to thrive in a borderless, technology-driven economy. This event is a vital step toward positioning India as a regional AI talent hub.
