Wie das vorliegende Monitoring ausgewählter Indikatoren zum digitalen Wandel in verschiedenen Teilbereichen der Wirtschaft und Gesellschaft zeigt, nimmt Österreich in Bezug auf den Fortschritt im digitalen Wandel insgesamt in Europa eine mittlere Position ein. In der aktuellen COVID-19-Krise wurde die wachsende Bedeutung des digitalen Wandels sehr deutlich. Da die Digitalisierung mittlerweile alle Lebensbereiche betrifft, sind grundlegende digitale Skills und die Nutzung digitaler Infrastruktur nicht mehr nur für Unternehmen und Arbeitskräfte relevant, sondern ebenso sehr für Schülerinnen und Schüler und die übrige Bevölkerung.

Digitalisation in Austria: Progress, Digital Skills and Infrastructure during COVID-19
Austria's performance in the digital transformation has been average by European standards. This is illustrated by a monitoring of selected indicators on the digital transformation of various areas of the economy and society. The growing importance of digital change has become quite evident in the current COVID-19 crisis: as digitalisation now affects all areas of life, basic digital skills and the use of digital infrastructure are no longer relevant for companies and the workforce only, but just as much for students and the rest of the population.
