Digital Economy and Society Index

The Digital Economy and Society Index (DESI)[1] monitors Europe's overall digital performance and tracks the progress of European Union (EU) countries regarding their digital competitiveness.[2] On an annual basis, it monitors the performance of member states in digital connectivity, digital skills, online activity and digital public services in order to assess the state of digitalization of each member state as well as to identify areas requiring priority investment and action.[3][4][5][6]

The 2022 DESI methodology encompasses four dimensions:[7]

  1. Human capital (internet user skills, advanced skills and development)
  2. Connectivity (fixed and mobile broadband, broadband prices)
  3. Integration of digital technology (digital intensity, digital technologies for business, e-commerce)
  4. Digital public services (e-government)
