National Report Italy

Digital is today the leading sector of the world economy and the indeclinable tasks of every country are to guarantee citizens access to technologies, provide tools for the dissemination and learning of digital skills and raise public awareness of the need to develop a digital culture.

Before that, it is essential that this same awareness is acquired by public administration, by leaders, by companies. Investing in ICT means investing in work, social inclusion, the strength of small Italian entrepreneurship, the simplification and optimization of the country’s resources and integration into the global economy. The transversality of the ICT theme leads us to become all of the stakeholders with individual responsibilities that will be accompanied by national political responsibilities able to promote and support digital literacy, to lead to the creation of a digital market and to the creation of new and high professionalism.
