5.8
Of the 139 countries which the World Economic
Forum analyzed in its 2016 annual report,
Switzerland ranks 7th on the Networked
Readiness Index. The latter, based on a scale
from 1 (worst) to 7 (best), measures the pro-
pensity of countries to leverage the possibilities
offered by information and communication
technologies to boost competitiveness, inno-
vation and well-being. Switzerland scored 5.8,
placing it in the top tier alongside Singapore
(6.0), Finland (6.0), Sweden, Norway, the United
States and the Netherlands (all 5.8), and
ahead of the United Kingdom (5.7), Japan (5.6),
Germany (5.6), France (5.3), Italy (4.4) and China
(4.2).
“The digital world is penetrating all parts of
consumers" lives, and digital mobility has
become the new normal.” This was the conclu-
sion reached by the study EY Digital Nations
Switzerland, which looked at the readiness,
attitudes and behavior towards digital
consumption in Switzerland. It found that the
population of the canton of Fribourg spends
an average of 8 hours and 48 minutes per day
on their digital devices, of which nearly 2 hours
on a smartphone (owned by 90%). Equally, the
penetration rates for laptop computers, smart-
watches and fitness bracelets in Switzerland
are higher than in other countries.
