Finland, Switzerland, Sweden, Israel, Singapore, the Netherlands
and the United States are leading the world when it comes to generating
economic impact from investments in information and communications
technologies (ICT), according to the World Economic Forum’s Global Information Technology Report 2016.
On average, this group of high-achieving economies at the pinnacle of the report’s Networked Readiness Index (NRI) economic impact
pillar scores 33% higher than other advanced economies and 100% more
than emerging and developing economies. The seven are all known for
being early and enthusiastic adopters of ICT and their emergence is
significant as it demonstrates that adoption of ICTs – coupled with a
supportive enabling environment characterized by sound regulation,
quality infrastructure and ready skills supply among other factors – can
pave the way to wider benefits.
