Performance Overview

SWITZERLAND is one of the global leaders in two of the pillars of the NRI, while it performs less well with respect to the other two pillars. The country’s best showing relates to the Impact (2nd) pillar, primarily as a result of the high scores it achieves in the Economy (3rd) and SDG Contribution (2nd) sub-pillars. Switzerland is also impressive when it comes to the Technology (3rd) pillar, where it enjoys superior levels of Access (4th), Content (3rd), and Future Technologies (7th). Its performances in the pillars on People and Governance (both 12th) are more disappointing. In the former case, the score is primarily dragged down by comparatively weak ICT usage among Individuals (44th), which stand in stark contrast to the ICT usage and skills by Businesses (3rd). In the latter case, it is mainly due to a relatively low level of Inclusion (18th).
