Southern Europe's AI Future Hinges on Skills

The Southern European region is on the cusp of an AI-driven revolution. According to Microsoft's Vice President for Southern Europe, Charles Calestroupat, skills will be the determining factor in who leads this future.

Greece, Portugal, Italy, and other markets are transitioning from adopting AI tools to creating a comprehensive ecosystem that combines human capital, universities, startups, public sector, and modern digital infrastructure.

Microsoft has contributed to training 100,000 people in digital skills through the GR for GRowth initiative. The goal is not only to accelerate digital transformation but also ensure no one is left behind.
