During the period from 2017 until 2022, the countries which consistently ranked as the most digitalized in the European Union were Finland, Denmark, the Netherlands, and Sweden. These countries scored highly across all categories measured in the EU's digital economy and society index (DESI) - that is, human capital, connectivity, integration of digital technology, and digital public services.
On the other hand, the member states that came at the bottom of the DESI rankings were mostly newer member states who have joined the EU since 2004. Some countries have made great strides in digitalizing their economy and society over this five year period including Italy, Czechia, and Cyprus.
