The European Digital Entrepreneurship Index 2016

The landmark publication of EDFx will be a new annual European Digital Entrepreneurship Index. This comprehensive report will provide a ranking of individual European cities’ digital readiness and assess their startup environment. (Depending on data availability and in consultation with the Commission, some indicators on the Index as a whole may look at other subnational areas such as NUTS2 regions). The Index will serve as a key resource to policy makers aiming to encourage web entrepreneurship in their country by - Identifying existing and promising hubs of activity, - Allowing them to benchmark their performance against other European hubs, - Helping them identify which policy areas they should prioritise. The Index will cover all capital cities in the EU as well as a number of other cities showing high levels of web entrepreneurship such as Cambridge, Barcelona, Munich among others.
