Denmark on top for ICT 10/04/2008
The World Economic Forum (WEF) has reported that Denmark is the most networked economy in the world.
Sweden, Switzerland and Korea were some of the countries that made up the top ten of the 2007-2008 Global Information Technology Report.
The report offers record coverage of 127 economies around the world, placing particular emphasis on the effective use of information communication technology (ICT). This year there was also a focus on network readiness in stimulating innovation.
Senior economist of the WEF global competitiveness network and co-editor of the report Irene Mia said: 'Coherent government vision on the importance of ICT, coupled with an early focus on education and innovation, are key not only for spurring networked readiness, but also to lay the foundations for sustainable growth.'
There was disappointment for the US, which only made it to fourth place, further fuelling fears that the country may be in a digital decline.
