Performance Overview

DENMARK is a cut above the rest when it comes to the People (1st) pillar, where it is one of the top 5 countries in all three sub-pillars: Individuals (5th), Businesses (2nd), and Governments (3rd). The country is also in the top 10 in the pillars related to Impact (6th) and Governance (10th). With respect to the former, its strong performance in Quality of Life (5th) is offset by somewhat lower rankings in the sub-pillars related to Economy (11th) and SDG Contribution (16th). As for the latter, it ranks in the top 10 in each sub-pillar (Trust, 4th; Regulation, 9th; Inclusion, 10th). Content (8th) is Denmark’s best- performing sub-pillar when it comes to Technology (11th), while the somewhat weaker performances in the other two sub-pillars—Access (13th) and Future Technologies (11th)—mean that it finds itself outside the top 10 in this dimension.
