Europe’s skills gap isn’t a short-term problem, it’s structural. In this short episode, David shares one clear prediction from Brighteye’s newly released Learning and Work Report: immigration is becoming a platform layer for the future of European work.

As work and talent go global, immigration systems remain fragmented, slow, and hard to navigate.David explores how the skills gap is being addressed in two ways:

(1) importing talent

(2) building it locally

And why the convergence of these approaches will create the next generation of critical infrastructure companies in Europe.
