IT industry rankings by country

The Economist Intelligence Unit ranked and scored countries based on the strength of their information technology industries.

Using a scoring methodology that included factors such as a country's business environment, IT infrastructure, and efforts in research and development, the affiliate of The Economist scored each country on a scale of 1 to 100 for a study called The Means to Compete: Benchmarking IT Industry Competitiveness (PDF). Here are its top picks, from the United States to Iran.
