Abstract

Digital transition represents one of the main objectives of the European Commission, and the current pandemic context is considered an ‘opportunity’ to accelerate the implementation of new digital technologies, which, in line with the climate neutrality goal, contribute to transforming today's Europe into a more resilient and functional one. However, evidence from across the globe shows that the digital transition process has different levels of implementation in EU countries. Based on the DESI data we analyzed the evolution of the digital transition in EU Member States and answered the question which Member States are performing best in terms of digitization and which are the least performing ones, in order to provide a macro-perspective regarding the structure of the digitalization process. In the second part, the analysis focuses on the current trends in digital transition in Finland, Sweden, Romania and Bulgaria, including pandemic period in order to see its impact. The results indicated that there is a gap between Member States regarding the level of digitalization. Each domain of DESI is important, there are countries that have good results in two areas but have poor results in the other three and overall they obtain a low score. The pandemic has slowed down the implementation of digitalization policies. However, there is a good improvement regarding e-commerce area and not only. This paper mainly contributes to the intensification of debates on digitalization in order to identify as many policies as possible that increase the level of digitalization and reduce the existing gap.
