Missed opportunities: The digital transformation in the V4 is lacklustre at best
The digital transformation in the V4 is lacklustre at best. Since liberating themselves from the Soviet yoke in 1989 and subsequently joining the European Union (EU) in 2004, the Visegrad countries (V4), have been increasingly trying to economically catch up with their Western counterparts, making up for the lost decades of progress while behind the Iron curtain.
That is the introduction for the article which was written by Michal Bokša and Matouš Janda for Visegrad Insight. This article talks about how digitalization offers a unique prospect for the V4 countries to take a lead in such innovative technologies and advanced manufacturing but how all four countries are well below the EU’s digital performance average.
