Who are the ICT partners for the Education / Training Market?

Information and communication technologies, by offering new and more effective means of access, communication and knowledge sharing, are playing an increasingly important role in value creation.
Currently, 40% of the world's population is under the age of 24, but this proportion will rise to 35% in 2050. This decline may indicate that overall investment in education will decline. However, the opposite will happen, thanks to at least 3 factors:
- There is evidence that the demographic transition promotes higher investment of families in education.
- Many countries do not yet have a strong education system as in developed countries and will have a catch-up phase.
- The transformation of society towards an increasingly digital society will increase both the available knowledge and the training needs of adults.
