According to the World Economic Forum (2020) report, 43% of companies surveyed stated they would reduce their workforce through the use of new technologies, 41% plan to increase outsourcing of specialised tasks and only 34% plan to hire more staff as a result of this technology integration. The pandemic has brought about new concepts such as 're-skilling' and 'upskilling'. In a newly restricted labour market, the opportunity for re-qualification and upskilling of workers is shrinking.

Unfortunately, due to the health situation, the World Congress has been postponed to April 2022. The current situation requires us to offer new alternatives to our members to share their best practices and meet each other. For this reason, it was decided not to wait any longer to launch the digital platform which, as you will recall, is the result of our meeting in Paris in 2019. On February 15, our website will finally be online thanks to a communication campaign towards our members and partners. As I have already mentioned to you in the past, your participation as a member of our association is essential to the success of this application. Program
