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 133 countries’ performance across four dimensions of digital readiness – technology, people, governance, and impact – using 54 indicators.
