 Market analysis from Procorre has shown that the demand for data scientists in Europe is on the rise. In just the last six months, the number of roles for data scientists has increased by around 45% in the continent, as demand for “for consultants and contractors in key roles” increases. Wiktor Podgorski, head of the relationship management team at Procorre, has said that “investment is being buoyed by the falling costs of the technology involved”, with the need for protection against cyber threats also playing a role. The study found that the UK led the way in job creation in the industry, with the Internet of Things expected to produce 182,000 new jobs there by 2020.
