Meet, exchange and collaborate between businesses and promoters of digital projects.

The Digital Skills Partnership (DSP) is a programme that aims to operationalise partnerships between businesses and initiatives in the digital field. With the evolution of our daily lives, digital has profoundly transformed the way we communicate, work, learn and even interact with our environment. It is therefore crucial for all actors in society to adapt to this digital transformation. For IMS, digitalisation is essential to respond to current challenges and build a sustainable future for all.

What is the added value?

This programme offers an opportunity for mutually beneficial partnerships. Participating companies can support local initiatives by implementing their CSR policy, mobilising their staff and engaging in positive impact projects. For initiatives, the CSP offers visibility, enabling them to raise awareness of their causes and obtain valuable support in their partnerships.

Who can participate?

The participating initiatives can be social and solidarity-based economy structures, public organisations, schools and training institutions, as well as research actors. They all share a shared commitment to digital and a willingness to make a positive difference in society.

For businesses, they can participate locally in initiatives, also enabling them to implement their CSR strategies.

Process of the project

The programme takes place in several key phases, including preparatory workshops for companies and project promoters, a Digital Skills Matchmaking event for quick meetings between businesses and initiatives, as well as follow-up workshops to maintain and develop established partnerships.

Digital Skills Matchmaking

The Digital Skills Matchmaking event will be organised in summer 2 024 in line with speed meeting. This great meeting is a unique opportunity for businesses and initiatives to connect, share ideas and create partnerships.

This event has existed since 2021 and brings together around fifty digital players each year in Luxembourg and WielkoRégion to set up partnerships. Every year, in addition to the speed meeting concept, the event hosts speakers on topics related to CSR and digital initiatives. In 2023, more than 38 partnerships were signed at the Digital Skills Matchmaking held at the ICT Spring. The event included Laurence Roquelaure d’Accenture Luxembourg, Hélène Snyer d’Accenture Song BELUX, Torlogh O’Boyled d’Accenture UK & Ireland and Mara K. GoldenMe, who shared their experience in setting up partnerships between companies and initiatives.

The Digital Skills Partnership programme is supported by the Ministry of State’s Innovative Initiatives initiative of the Media Service, Connectivity and Digital Policy, as well as by the European Social Fund and the Digital Skills and Jobs Coalition.
