Bangalore businesses are ‘the most bullish in the world’ about their local digital ecosystem, says Economist Intelligence Unit

November 24, 2017 by Sam Francis

In a study of 45 cities, firms in Bangalore, San Francisco and Mumbai display the greatest degree of confidence in their city’s digital transformation environment

Business leaders in 45 cities around the world are “relatively confident” that they can find the support they need for their digital transformation efforts in the surrounding environment, according to a new study by the Economist Intelligence Unit.

Many city environments come up short, however, particularly in the supply of digital talent for firms and city governments’ sharing of public data.

In Connecting Commerce: Business Confidence in the Digital Environment, commissioned by Telstra, a telecommunications and technology company, business confidence in the local environment is particularly high in emerging market cities, which account for seven of the 10 highest readings in the Digital Cities Barometer (see graphs below), which forms part of the report.  [Read more…] about Bangalore businesses are ‘the most bullish in the world’ about their local digital ecosystem, says Economist Intelligence Unit
