Summary of Findings

We have created a spreadsheet and entered some of the requested details of the IMD Digital Competitiveness Index, based on the 3 factors. We have provided: the factor, sub-factor, criteria/indicator, and source. We have provided each of the factors in each its own tab in the spreadsheet, and also entered some details on the sub-factors, indicators and sources for each tab. However, due to time constraints, we were not able to complete the spreadsheet with the required/available information.
