Digital Competitiveness of V4 Countries

Digital technologies are gradually becoming a part of the everyday life of the entire population. As a result, there is room for mutual competition in this area between individual countries, as the development of each country is not uniform. Through this contribution, we aim to highlight the differences as well as similarities in the area of digitization in the V4 countries, not only in comparison with each other but also with Denmark as a leading country in digital competitiveness. For analysis, we used the IMD index, which measures three main factors influencing a country's digital competitiveness (Knowledge, Technology, Future Readiness). The results of the analysis showed that each country has several areas that still need to be developed. Overall, the most problematic sub-factor in all analyzed countries was capital.
