Central and Eastern Europe is well on the way to becoming a global IT powerhouse, and education is the key driving factor.

The emerging Europe IT sector may not yet be of the size and scale of India, but it has emerged as a powerhouse over the last two decades.

Indeed, while India, which has over 3.7 million individuals employed in the sector, remains the largest global player, when we look at the number of IT employees per 100,000 inhabitants, emerging Europe’s numbers are four times higher.

In countries like Estonia, it is nine times higher.
