Norway is among the world's best at digitalization in the public sector
Norway has secured a strong position in a new international report. The OECD Digital Government Outlook 2026 shows that Norway is now ranked as the fifth best country in the world when it comes to the digitalization of public services.
This ranking looks at how member countries use technology to make everyday life easier for citizens. The report assesses, among other things, how accessible digital services are and how the state uses data to improve public administration.
Landing in fifth place is a sign that Norway has come a long way in its work to modernize the public sector. The goal of digitalization is for services such as tax, health, and education to become more efficient and user-friendly for everyone living in the country.
Even though Norway is performing very well, the report also points out that there is always room for improvement. Digital technology is developing rapidly, and the authorities must continue to work to ensure that systems remain secure and inclusive for the entire population.
The results from the OECD confirm that Norway is an important player when it comes to adopting new technology in society. This is good news for both the business sector and the citizens who depend on well-functioning digital solutions in their daily lives.
