nformation and communication technologies (ICTs) are transforming our economies and societies.
Since 2001, The Global Information and Technology Report series and the Networked Readiness
Index (NRI) have been taking the pulse of the ICT revolution worldwide.
The NRI identifies the capacity of countries to leveraging ICT, by assessing the overall political and
business environment, the level of ICT readiness and usage of ICT among the population,
businesses and government, as well as the overall impacts of ICTs on the economy and society at
large.
The 2015 results, which covers 143 economies, confirms the dominance of advanced economies
and the persistence of the multiple-faceted digital divides not only across but also within economies.
They reveal the pervasive digital poverty that deprives the neediest from the opportunities offered by
ICTs.
Beyond this diagnosis, under the theme “ICTs for Inclusive Growth”, the 2015 edition of the report
provides solutions from leading experts and practitioners to alleviate digital poverty and make the
ICT revolution a global reality.
This year marks the 13th edition of the Global Information Technology Report, which provides a
comprehensive assessment of networked readiness, or how prepared an economy is to apply the
benefits of information and communications technologies (ICTs) to promote economic growth and
well-being. Using updated methodology that was introduced in 2012, the report ranks the progress of
148 economies in leveraging ICTs to increase productivity, economic growth and the number of
quality jobs.
The rankings also show how far some countries have gone in bridging the digital divide – not only in
terms of developing ICT infrastructure, but also in terms of economic and social impact – and
highlight the main strengths and weaknesses countries are facing. This edition also analyses in
detail the rewards and risks associated with big data and what public and private organizations must
do to benefit from it. The report remains the most comprehensive and authoritative international
assessment of its kind.
