Germany is making progress in digitalization, but cannot keep pace with the pace of smaller EU countries in particular. In the new Bitkom DESI Index 2026, Germany ranks 17th among the 27 EU member states\u2014with 51.1 points. Last year, Germany was still in 14th place (50.1 points), and in 13th place in the European Commission\u2019s 2022 DESI Index. At the same time, the comparison shows that among the five largest EU countries, Germany ranks second behind Spain and ahead of France, Poland, and Italy. This is shown by the Bitkom DESI Index, which compares the progress of EU countries in digitalization.","thumbnail_url":"https:\/\/cdn.pblzr.de\/dacbb27c-1270-4041-b681-e2b95f06f8a1\/2026\/08\/bitkom-logo-400x300_2_TEXT.jpg"}
