Introducing CEPIS

Who is CEPIS

• Representative body of 32 national informatics associations across greater Europe

• 31 countries

• 450k professionals

Our mission

• Improve and promote high standards in informatics

• Foster the development of the information society in Europe

Our Focus Areas

• Professionalism & Skills

• Education

• Green ICT

• Women in ICT

40% of companies struggle to find qualified ICT

professionals

This demand will increase in years to come

Supply in decline: 40% decrease in ICT graduates

This poses a risk for society and economies

Steps must be taken to mature the ICT profession

Maturing the profession will take time, but the time for

engagement and action is now

Failure to do so will lead to Europe missing the benefits

that the digital revolution can provide

CEPIS has launched IT Professionalism Europe (ITPE)

to provide a part of the solution

ITPE is a network of organisations committed to

furthering IT professionalism in Europe

ITPE strives to have a beneficial effect on business and
