Overall Assessment
Slovenia is a solid and balanced performer in the EU's mid-tier, demonstrating consistent strengths across public policy and the digital health of its public and private sectors. It lacks a standout, chart-topping strength but also has no critical weaknesses.
Sobering Reality
2020 Baseline
In 2020, Slovenia was a "solid emerging country," with its key strength in its institutional approach to open source governance, which drove digital autonomy even without an explicit top-down strategy.
2024 Progression
Slovenia's open source infrastructure remains extensive but often "invisible." The new Ministry of Digital Transformation, established in 2023, is now coordinating the country's digital strategy and has recognized open source as a key component for sustainable development.
2025 Data-Driven Analysis
Slovenia's profile is remarkably balanced. It has a strong Public Policy score (7.50) and high scores for Public Sector (8.03) and Private Sector (7.79) resilience. Its performance is moderated by average scores in the Developer Ecosystem (3.81) and Grassroots Adoption (5.39) pillars.
Strengths
- Balanced Profile: Consistent, above-average performance across policy and infrastructure resilience.
- Public Sector Health: Slovenian public institutions utilize a relatively sovereign technology stack.
Weaknesses
- Developer Ecosystem: The per-capita developer community is not large enough to be a strategic asset.
Outlook
Slovenia is on a stable and positive trajectory. The formal recognition of open source by the new ministry provides an opportunity to build on its solid foundation. A strategic focus on growing its domestic developer talent could elevate it into the next tier of performers.
