<p>The world experience proves that the development of the innovational society is directly linked to the concept of human capital through the development of the sectors where the accumulation of human capital takes place and primarily in the sphere of education and science. This paper is an exploratory research based on the analysis of macroeconomic indicators on digital performance, highlighting the progress made in terms of digital competitiveness, as well as on the digital framework and systemic conditions for education. The educational system is in a continuous dynamic; to cope with changes, this system is forced to make intensive use of creative techniques at all levels of it. However, in this context, many teachers are concerned about standardised processes and tests, compared to creative ones. Creativity has been and is combined with science: art and technology turn people’s ideas into facts. At the beginning of the twenty-first century, the importance of innovation for growth (especially economic growth) was recognized, but the question of non-technological innovation is also raised.</p>
<p>To this end, consideration was given to the processing and systematisation of secondary data taken from official reports prepared and published by the European Commission. Thus, we refer to the reports of the Digital Economy and Society Index (DESI) and the Human Capital Index (HCI) with reference to Romania, in the time horizon 2018-2020. The DESI 2020 reports are based on 2019 data. The UK is still included in the DESI 2020 and the EU averages are calculated for 28 member states. The DESI has been recalculated for previous years to reflect changes in the choice of indicators and corrections to the data. Human capital is a key trigger for sustainable, inclusive economic growth, but investment in health and education has not received the well-deserved attention. The index establishes a direct link between improved outcomes in health and education, productivity and economic growth.</p>
