Switzerland Tops IMD’s 2025 Digital Competitiveness Ranking
Switzerland remains the leader in digital competitiveness for 2025, outranking the United States and Singapore. This ranking by the Institute for Management Development (IMD) confirms Switzerland’s position among the most advanced digital economies worldwide.
IMD World Digital Competitiveness Ranking Overview
The annual IMD ranking evaluates 69 economies based on their ability to adopt and leverage digital technologies for economic and social progress. Switzerland secured the top position due to its strong digital infrastructure, education system, and innovative ecosystems.
Key Rankings
- 1st place: Switzerland
- 2nd place: United States
- 3rd place: Singapore
Challenges Ahead
Despite this success, IMD experts caution about risks posed by increasing trade fragmentation and evolving regulatory environments, which may affect digital leadership in the near future.
“Digitally speaking, Switzerland has experienced two important developments so far this year: the cataclysmic effects of tariff changes and the approval of e-ID by a razor-thin margin (50.4% in favor),” said Arturo Bris, Director of IMD’s World Competitiveness Center (WCC). “It’s clear that the Swiss aren’t as prepared as we might have hoped to embrace the challenges of technology today.”
Trade tensions are impacting data flows, technical standards, and investment decisions, all critical factors influencing digital competitiveness globally.
Summary
Switzerland leads digital competitiveness in 2025 thanks to robust infrastructure and innovation but faces risks from global trade frictions and regulatory shifts.
