      <image:title>About - Industry needs PROTOGÉ</image:title>
      <image:caption>Since 2019 Burning Glass Technologies has partnered with Epic Games to understand the demand for real-time 3D skills in the worldwide labour market. They release reports which include some key findings: Demand for cutting-edge real-time 3D skills is growing quickly. Demand for 3D graphics overall has grown 42% faster than the market overall. Demand for real-time 3D skills, which are at the technological frontier of 3D graphics, has grown 601% faster than the market overall and now accounts for 10% of all openings calling for 3D graphics, up from 4% in 2013. Real-time 3D skills are undersupplied, and that is unlikely to change any time soon. Demand for deal-time 3D skills is growing rapidly, take longer than average to fill, and is associated with a large salary premium. These jobs pay 57% above the average advertised salary and 18% above the average advertised salary for jobs requesting 3D graphics skills in general. Demand for some 3D graphics skills is becoming universal across all geographies studied, while for others it remains geographically fragmented. Countries like the UK and Germany are the dominant force, universally showing the highest demand for 3D graphics and real-time 3D skills in a variety of occupations and industries.</image:caption>
