DIGITALIZATION er than relocation of factories, it’s about industrialization in sophisticated sectors such as sustainability, digital and health. He sees possibility in renewable energy, hydrogen, and electrical mobility, in microelectronics and biomedi-cine, in cybersecurity and quantum computing. And in AI, one of the technological fronts on which European develop-ment can already rival that in the USA. The growing, unstoppable demand for sustainable devel-opment is part of that great digital opportunity. Because with-out technology with a humanist purpose, its objectives cannot be met. Because countries leading Research and Development will be able to export it when a world beset by climate change demands it - with stricter, more binding legislation. And because it would allow Europe to reclaim some of that geopo-litical autonomy sooner, as renewables, hydrogen, alternative fuels, electrification, and storage mature and take over from the era of petroleum. STEM MENTALITY “We need to be more adaptable, flexible and resilient,” states Beivide. And that’s why cultural transformation would be the other great driver towards digitalization. Digital trans-formation - its purpose, its north star, its outcome - happens in the mind first. And in the heart. And in the future. And in schools. For Beivide, that human factor is always crucial, but even more so when it’s about channelling technology towards its human aspect. Investing in that capital - responsible for 70% of wealth in high income countries, according to the World Bank - for Beivide means laying the foundations for an education that arouses children’s interest and then passion for STEM subjects. The professionals will be leading the change rather than being led by it. Both the geometry and the horizons of cities will
