Overview

Czech Republic scores 4.93 and falls one place to rank 20th among the Innovation-driven economies on the Connectivity Scorecard 2011 index. In 2010, Czech Republic held the 19th rank with a score of 5.03.

Although Czech Republic finishes towards the bottom of the table, it does outperform several more-affluent peers such as Italy, Portugal and Greece in various categories.

The Czech Republic performs reasonably well on some measures of consumer infrastructure, particularly with respect to the quality of its broadband infrastructure, but is let down by poor consumer usage and government sector scores. The country has shown some improvement in recent years and has established itself as the leading performer among the “transition” economies.
