The recent period, also called the “era of algorithms”, has brought remarkable transformations both in personal life and in the way of doing business. Developing and implementing digital technologies depend on the availability of human capital, a resource that is increasingly difficult to find. Countries are in competition for this resource, and attracting talent has become a goal often difficult to achieve. In this context, the current chapter seeks to evaluate human capital contribution to the digital competitiveness of the EU countries and to describe the moderating role of digitization in the development of human capital through migration management. Investigating the digital competitiveness of the EU countries, we demonstrated that the most important driver of the major differences between these countries is human capital. In this context, migration becomes both an opportunity and a threat, and its digital management is of tremendous importance.
