How well is your country performing on cultural digitisation?

For many years, the cultural sector remained one of the very few to be only lightly touched by the disruption that Internet- and mobile-driven changes were bringing to other industries and segments of society. That is no longer the case. Cultural institutions in much of the world are now busy deploying digital technologies and quickly trying to make up for lost time.

Based on data collected from 243 arts and heritage institutions, The Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU) assesses the progress of cultural digitisation in 22 countries.
