DESI Focuses only on infrastructure and use - lacking innovation and the economic success
Up to DESI

The challenge with the DESI and other digitization metrics it their sole focus on infra and use of digital solution, services and platforms. The DESI should have metrics for nations investment impact (R&D; investment against exports), how much software exports are of the total national exports, national software import/export ration, number of software engineering professors and master level students graduating per year, and how balanced is the domestically owned ICT industry?
Thanks for the interesting suggestions. Some of these indicators, although not used in DESI, are presented in the Key indicators dataset https://digital-agenda-data.eu/datasets/digital_agenda_scoreboard_key_indicators/indicators under the thematic groups: ICT sector and EU research. We will exam relevance and feasibility of your proposals.
