The top 10 spots continue to be dom

The top 10 spots continue to be dominated by Northern European economies, the Asian Tigers, and some of the most advanced Western economies.Three Nordic economies—Finland, Sweden, and Norway—lead the rankings and are positioned among the top 5. Denmark and Iceland, the remaining two Nordic economies, also perform strongly, and despite small slips this year they feature among the top 20. Overall, their performance in terms of ICT readiness, with excellent digital infrastructures and robust innovation systems, allows them to score very highly both in ICT use—with almost universal Internet use, for example —and in innovation performances. The Asian Tigers—composed of Singapore, Hong Kong SAR, the Republic of Korea, and Taiwan (China)—also perform very strongly, all of them positioned at the forefront of the NRI and with Singapore, Hong Kong SAR, and Korea featuring among the top 10. All these economies continue to boast outstanding business and innovation environments that are consistently ranked among the most conducive to entrepreneurship in the world. Finally, the top 10 includes some of the most advanced Western economies—the Netherlands, Switzerland, the United States, and the United Kingdom—that have recognized the potential of ICTs to embark in a new economic and social revolution, and thus have substantially invested in developing their digital potential. In evolutionary terms, this year the rankings remain very stable, with no movement in the top 6 and negligible changes in the rest, with the exception of the significant improvement by six positions of Hong Kong SAR, which climbs to 8th place. For a second consecutive year, Finland tops the rankings with a strong performance across the board.

Sweden (3rd) maintains its position this year despite a slight improvement in its overall score, unable to regain the top position it held two editions ago. Overall, the very strong performance of Sweden reflects its world-class, affordable (11th) ICT infrastructure (3rd) and a stable and pro-business and innovation environment (15th), despite its high tax rate (123rd).

The United States moves up two positions to 7th place, thanks to slight improvements in many areas of the Index.
