We are on a journey toward becoming a truly digital planet. But every country is at a different place in the journey of becoming a digital economy, and is progressing at a different pace.

To better understand the status of 50 economically important countries in becoming a digital economy, the Fletcher School at Tufts University has created a Digital Evolution Index (DEI). This index shows how countries compare in readiness for becoming a digital economy.

In analyzing these 50 countries, they have been sorted into four trajectory zones:

• Stand Out - High levels of digital development and an upward trajectory.
• Stall Out – high levels of digital development but losing momentum.
• Break Out – low levels of digital development but with the potential to develop strong digital economies.
• Watch Out – countries with low level of digital development, and with significant opportunities and challenges. Some seem stuck while others may overcome challenges and break out.

On March 9, 2016, in a live, interactive Harvard Business Review webinar, the Fletcher School’s Bhaskar Chakravorti will share insights on where the digital economy is moving fastest, which countries are poised for rapid changes, and where digital progress is slow or stalled.
