It held the 45th position in 2022, climbed to 43rd in 2021, reached 40th in 2020, and stood at 54th in 2019.\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>It was also reported that Cyprus\u2019 ranking in 2023 continued to be affected by <strong>deficiencies<\/strong> in criteria highlighted in previous assessments, which have <strong>worsened<\/strong> further.<br \/>\nThe report said that Cyprus\u2019 chronic<strong> weaknesses concern criteria such as the percentage of graduates in STEM fields, net inflows of foreign students, the percentage of mobile broadband subscribers, business agility, the use of big data and analytics by businesses, and knowledge transfer<\/strong> between universities and businesses.<br \/>\nMeanwhile, in 2023, Cyprus continued to fare favourably compared to other countries in aspects such as the employment rate of scientific and technical workers, the percentage of the population with tertiary education, and the percentage of women in the population with tertiary education.<br \/>\nIt should be noted that the<strong> CypERC and the Cyprus Employers and Industrialists Federation (\u039fev)<\/strong> contributed as collaborating entities to the publication by the World Competitiveness Centre of the IMD Business School.<br \/>\nThe digital competitiveness ranking measures the ability and readiness of economies to adopt and develop digital technologies leading to improvements in the functioning of the state apparatus, businesses, and society at large.<br \/>\nThe ranking is based on 54 criteria calculated from official statistics and data collected from an opinion survey.<br \/>\nThe criteria are grouped into three categories. These include <strong>knowledge<\/strong>, meaning the ability to understand and develop new technologies; <strong>technology<\/strong>, which refers to the country\u2019s capabilities for digital innovation; and <strong>readiness for the future<\/strong>, which reflects the economy\u2019s ability to harness digital transformation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cyprus has
