The UAE is the only country in the Middle East that is featured in the top 20 of the Digital Competitiveness Rankings this year.

The country places 18th in the report released by IMD World Competitiveness Centre.

It advanced seven positions this year compared to 2016, with the indicators for technology and scientific infrastructure included in the overall rankings.

This year's Digital Competitiveness Ranking, however, introduces several new criteria to measure the ability of countries to adopt and explore digital technologies leading to a transformation in government practices, business models and society in general. - Wam
