BAHRAIN’S inclusion in the World Digital Competitiveness Rankings Report 2022 for the first time demonstrates the kingdom’s significant progress in digital infrastructure, cybersecurity, and the ICT (information and communication technology) sector.
It is critically significant to successfully invest in these capabilities and launching more qualitative digital initiatives that have a constructive impact on the development of other sectors such as health, education, transportation, and e-commerce.
Bahrain needs to make more efforts to attract international investments and deliver competitive services across the region.
There needs to be greater collaboration between public and private institutions in the technical and digital sectors, in addition to providing additional assistance to companies and entrepreneurs in this sector, within the framework of Bahrain’s Vision 2030, which highlights the knowledge economy and the private sector as the engine of growth.
The majority of Bahrain’s digital advancement is accomplished through national cadres.
The World Digital Competitiveness Rankings Report demonstrated this by highlighting the kingdom’s remarkable performance in the sectors of the digital workforce which reflects Bahrain’s competent workforce in this field.
The report has placed Bahrain in seventh place in the index of global experience, 13th globally in the index of digital and technological skills, and 13th in the index of talents. This is in addition to ranking among the top 20 countries in several other indicators, including ranking third in the index of women with scientific degrees, seventh in the index of international experience of managers, and 19th in terms of the number of female researchers.
