How this pillar score is derived

Each value is converted to a metric score using its published reference band. The metric scores are then combined according to their relative weights.

Why this reference band?

We set the ceiling at 10% of employment. That is roughly what the EU Digital Decade goal of 20 million ICT specialists by 2030 amounts to as a share of current EU employment. The 10% figure is our own calculation from that goal rather than a published target.

Worked equation

Eurostat · · 31 Dec 2025

Why this reference band?

The ceiling is the EU Digital Decade target for 2030 exactly as published: at least 80% of people aged 16 to 74 with at least basic digital skills. It is one of two ceilings taken from Digital Decade targets; the other is the 75% ceiling for enterprise cloud use (DA-01.0).

Final weighted average

round((49.0000 × 3.0 + 69.6875 × 2.0) ÷ 5.0) = 57

Exact result 57.28; published score 57/100. The calculation uses unrounded metric scores. The final weighted average is rounded to the nearest whole number.
