Switzerland's Awards

Switzerland among best five in IT Ranking

According to the World Economic Forum's latest Global Information Technology Report, Switzerland now ranks in 5th place up from 9th last year. This improvement is mainly due to excellent economic conditions, which prompt investment in information and communication technology (ICT), in addition to the country's "e-readiness" for private use.

Switzerland has made great strides, says the Report, because its information and communication technology advancement is powered by country's first-class business environment and effective e-leadership in the business sector.

The Report ranks Denmark first in information and communication technology, followed
by Sweden, Singapore and Finland. The USA, the front runner in last year's study, is currently in 7th place due to a decline in political and regulatory conditions. However the USA still leads in innovation.

The Report, covering a record 122 economies worldwide, has become the world's most respected assessment of the impact of information and communication technology on the development process and the competitiveness of nations.
