Tunisia ranks 4th in Africa on Digital Evolution Index 2025
Tunisia has secured the 79th global position (4th in Africa) in the newly released Digital Evolution Index 2025 by the Fletcher School's Institute for Business in the Global Context.
The study evaluates 125 countries (covering 92% of the world population) across four key pillars: institutional environment, demand conditions, supply conditions, and innovation/adaptation capacity.
In Africa, Mauritius leads the way with a score of 52.31 points and is ranked 62nd in the world.
It is followed by South Africa (66th) with 50.11 points, then Botswana (76th) with 45.33 points. After Tunisia, Kenya completes the African top 5 with a score of 41.48 (84th in the world).
Other African countries in the top 10 include Morocco (87th) with 40.64, Egypt (91st) with 38.38, Namibia (94th) with 37.55, followed by Algeria (96th) with 34.84 and Senegal (97th) with 34.70.
Despite this progress, the report highlights a wide digital divide between the world's major regions.
North America and Europe continue to dominate the top of the rankings, while Africa and the Middle East are still struggling to keep up.
The United States dominates the ranking with a perfect score of 100, followed by Singapore (96.72), Finland (89.20), Denmark (88.55) and Sweden (88.24), all praised for the maturity of their digital ecosystem and their capacity to innovate.
The overall score is based on 184 indicators grouped into four main pillars: the institutional environment, demand conditions, supply conditions and the ability to innovate and adapt to change.
Each indicator is rated on a scale from 0 to 10 and then aggregated in equal parts to give a final score from 0 to 100.
