The World Economic Forum, in cooperation with INSEAD, a leading international business school, produced the Global Information Technology Report 2009-2010. It highlights the key role of information and communication technologies (ICT) as enabling a more economically, environmentally and socially sustainable world. The report covers 133 economies worldwide, thus standing as a comprehensive and authoritative international assessment of the impact of ICT on the development process and the competitiveness of nations. <\/span><\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Switzerland ranks 4th<\/sup> in the 2009-2010 edition. \u201cOver the years, Switzerland [\u2026] has evolved into an innovation powerhouse<\/strong>. Ranked 16th<\/sup> among 75 countries in the first NRI edition in 2001-02, the country has been consistently ranked in the top five for the last four editions.\u201d[i]<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span> This top position is explained mostly by businesses. They seem \u201c to be at the forefront of ICT readiness and diffusion, as suggested by the outstanding marks the business sector gets for its readiness (1st<\/sup>) and usage (2nd<\/sup>). Switzerland also offers an extremely conducive environment for ICT development (4th<\/sup>), with an extensive availability of quality soft and hard infrastructure, favorable regulations, and excellent market environment.\u201d[ii]<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/p>\n
