France leads the way for digital competitiveness
The World Economic Forum has released the Digital Riser Report by the European Center for Digital Competitiveness (ESCP Business School), which provides a global ranking of 140 countries and compares them within their regions.
Between 2017 and 2019, France developed its digital competitiveness by investing in talent, as well as by making innovation and entrepreneurship easier for companies. The result was that, within the G7 group of nations, France advanced the most in its relative digital competitiveness, making the country the top Digital Riser in this group; conversely, Italy and Germany decreased the most.
Within the G20, France was part of the top three Digital Risers, along with Saudi Arabia and Indonesia.
