In the interview  Commissioner Olli Rehn shares with us some of the major challenges but also opportunities we have  with the Play Station generation. In Europe there is a strong education system and a well-established industrial and service sector. Yet, there is still a lot to do before Europe becomes a talent magnet for professionals and students from the rest of the world.

While it is necessary  to establish an attractive environment for the PlayStation generation it is also very IMPORTANT that we do not create  an atmosphere of XENOPHOBIA surrounding AGE.  It is clear that information is no longer as hierarchical as it used to be, and this can present both challenges and opportunities for people of all ages and in all sectors.
