In Technology, which evaluates digital innovation capability, Taiwan topped the world in IT and media stock market capitalization and was third in high-tech exports. The Future Readiness category, which assesses progress in digital transformation, had Taiwan placed second in corporate agility.
According to the MODA, the results spotlight success in government policies promoting digital infrastructure development and cybersecurity, and highlight the strength of Taiwan’s information communication technology, as well as related R&D activities, private sector performances and higher education.
