THE DESI INDEX

The Digital Economy and Society Index (DESI) is a composite index published by the European Commission since 2014. This index measures the progress of EU countries towards a digital economy and society. It brings together a set of relevant indicators on Europe’s current digital policy mix.

Cercle Tecnològic de Catalunya is in charge of obtaining these indicators for Catalonia so that we can have a reference of the position within the framework of the European Union.
