From the majestic docks of the River Mersey to the legendary rhythms of The Beatles, Liverpool is a city of bold ideas and proud reinvention. And this year, it becomes the beating heart of a world-class summit on green and digital transitions, entrepreneurial education, and skills for tomorrow.
Whether you're a policymaker, entrepreneur, educator, student, or simply passionate about innovation in technical and vocational education, this is where your journey continues.
This year’s Summit will bring together policy makers, educational leaders, industry representatives, and civil society organisations from across the world, with a special focus on the following themes:
Twin transition to green and digital economies
Digital skills development
Strategies for skilling, upskilling and reskilling
Entrepreneurship and Innovation in VET
World-wide Micro-Credentials (MC’s) Evaluations

The Summit will additionally feature a dedicated presentation of the Skillman Teacher Academy (STA) – a transnational initiative aimed at enhancing teacher education in the VET sector and supported under the Erasmus+ Teacher Academies action.
The Skillman International Forum 2025 in Liverpool builds on the mission of fostering innovation, cooperation, and excellence in skills for a sustainable and inclusive future. Its themes and activities are aligned with several United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which provide a common framework to measure the impact of the event.
