I'VE BEEN WORKING ON
The Digital Intelligence Index, an interactive research platform of scorecards analyzing digital trust and evolution in over 90 economies. It offers insights to enhance digital competitiveness, build trust in the digital economy, and foster responsible use of advanced technologies.
