Norway is among the best in the world at digitalization
Norway has secured a strong fifth place in the latest report from the OECD, "Digital Government Outlook 2026." The report assesses how well member countries succeed in digitizing public services for their citizens.
Digitalization is about how the state uses technology to make everyday life easier for people. This can, for example, involve digital solutions for taxes, health information, or communication with public offices. A high ranking means that Norway is at the forefront when it comes to offering efficient and modern services online.
The OECD report looks at several factors, such as user-friendliness, security, and how technology is used to create better societal solutions. That Norway lands in the top five shows that the country has had a good strategy for developing digital tools over several years.
Even though Norway is doing well, work continues to improve digital services. The goal for the authorities is for the public sector to be as simple and accessible as possible for all citizens in the years to come.
