We are pleased to announce the upcoming hybrid launch of the 2023 Network Readiness Index (NRI) on November 20, 2023 at Saïd Business School, University of Oxford. This year’s report will be dedicated to the theme of trust in technology and the network society. It draws attention to the potential for a serious crisis in public trust in the internet and related technologies in our increasingly interconnected world. The global launch event will serve as a platform for unveiling the findings of the 2023 report and engaging in discussions about the vital aspect of restoring trust in our networked society, with perspectives from government, industry, and academia.

The 2023 edition of the Network Readiness Index is published by Portulans Institute and Saïd Business School, University of Oxford in collaboration with our Knowledge Partners: Amazon Web Services (AWS)malomatia and CNI – Confederação Nacional da Indústria.

First launched in 2002 with the World Economic Forum, and redesigned in 2019 by its founders Soumitra Dutta and Bruno Lanvin, the Network Readiness Index is an in-depth analysis of 134 countries’ performance across four dimensions of digital readiness – technology, people, governance, and impact – using 58 indicators.
