Czech Republic scores 6.10, distinguished by the best private-sector hosting in the EU27.cz raw rating 0.63, tied with Slovakia for top spot. Czech businesses host on domestic infrastructure more than any other EU country (CZ.NIC, Active24, WEDOS, ZONER are well-represented in the top-500 sample). The countering weakness is moderate developer density (2.41) and a public-sector score (6.67) that lags the perfect-10 cluster.

Strengths

  • Best .cz private-sector hosting in the EU — raw rating 0.63, perfectly normalised to DR_PRIV_SCT 9.95.
  • Strong sovereign browser share — 18.17% Firefox + Opera, top quartile.
  • Linux desktop share of 4.16% — above the EU27 mean.

Weaknesses

  • Public Sector Health at 6.67 — below the perfect-10 cluster (AT, HR, HU, LU, RO, SI). Some Czech official domains rely on non-EU CDNs.
  • Per-capita developer density of 2.51 — mid-tier, no comparative advantage.

Outlook

Czech Republic's private-sector hosting is genuinely exemplary — the country has built a strong domestic registrar/hoster ecosystem (CZ.NIC, Active24) that keeps .cz business close to home. If public-sector hosting were brought to the same standard, Czech Republic would jump into the top tier.

Historical context

2020 baseline

In 2020, the Czech Republic was an "emerging" country with established legal foundations for both strategic and open source fronts but had yet to translate them into proactive, high-impact national initiatives.

2024 progression

A major structural change is the establishment of the Digital and Information Agency (DIA) in 2023, which centralizes digital governance. The "Brno Declaration" by key associations is paving the way for a national OSPO, indicating a move towards a more coordinated open source strategy.
