The Global Information Technology Report 2009–2010, the ninth in the series, measures the extent to which 133 economies from both the developed and developing worlds leverage ICT advances for increased growth and development through the methodological framework of the Networked Readiness Index (NRI). The NRI identifies the most relevant factors facilitating ICT readiness, providing policymakers, business leaders, and all other relevant stakeholders with a unique tool in drawing national roadmaps toward increased networked readiness, one that they can use to benchmark their country’s performance over time and vis-à-vis other economies.

The Report is the result of a long-standing collaboration between the World Economic Forum's Global Competitiveness Network and INSEAD, dating back to 2002.
