The digital transformation can be seen in all areas of life, including workplaces, private life, or contact with the public administration. This development poses major challenges for the economy, society and the state, as it forces everyone to adapt to the changing circumstances. In this process, digital competence is crucial, as it is the key to participating in digital life.
The bidt-SZ-Digitalbarometer 2022 showed where Germany stands in terms of digital transformation. In order to enable an international classification of these results, the Bavarian Research Institute for Digital Transformation (bidt) has now conducted representative surveys in the European countries of Austria, Spain, Finland, France, the United Kingdom, and Italy. In cooperation with the SZ Institute of the Süddeutsche Zeitung publishing house, the institute surveyed residents of each country on the topics of usage behaviour, e-government, digital competence, digital transformation of the working environment, and artificial intelligence (AI) between November 2022 and January 2023. The data collected allows comparing the results from Germany internationally. Specifically, the study aims to identify differences and similarities in the selected countries and to better understand the developments and challenges of the digital transformation. The corresponding findings also expand the empirical foundation for initiating debates and helping to shape the digital future of society in a responsible and public interest-oriented manner.
