Italy ranks 26th at 3.09. The Developer Ecosystem pillar literally hits 0.0 — Italy has the lowest per-capita GitHub developer count in the EU27. Other pillars are weak too: grassroots adoption is bottom quartile, private sector mid-low.

Strengths

  • Public Sector Health at 5.56 — close to the EU27 median; Italian government domains are predominantly EU-hosted.

Weaknesses

  • Lowest per-capita developer density in the EU — 1.53. With 59M inhabitants, Italy should have a much larger developer pool; instead the per-capita ratio is rock-bottom.
  • Bottom-tier grassroots adoption — sovereign browser share 11.49%, Linux 3.53%.
  • Low private-sector hosting.it raw rating 0.43.

Outlook

Italy's developer-density score is the most striking weakness across the EU27. A country of this size with this little tech-workforce signal points to a fundamental disconnect between the educational system and modern software-engineering employment. Long structural issue.

Historical context

2020 baseline

In 2020, Italy was a "contender," whose strength lay in its world-class open source software policy framework, which compensated for its underdeveloped top-down strategic sovereignty agenda.

2024 progression

Italy maintains its strong, policy-driven commitment to OSS. The national policy framework, including the Guidelines on the Acquisition and Reuse of Software, continues to strongly favor open source. The Competence Centre for Reuse and Open Source (CCROS) was established in 2020 to support public administrations.
