The Networked Readiness Index is an index published annually by the World Economic Forum in collaboration with INSEAD, as part of their annual Global Information Technology Report. It aims to measure the degree of readiness of countries to exploit opportunities offered by information and communications technology. The Networked Readiness Index was first conceived of and constructed by Geoffrey Kirkman, Jeffrey Sachs and Carlos Osorio in 2002 at Harvard University.
The 2016 edition covers 139 nations.
