With the rise of global digitalization and the significant social and economical impact of the Covid-19 pandemic, “business as usual” seems a thing of the past. This year’s Digital Report reveals that the connected world is growing even faster than it did before the pandemic.

2021 saw several leaps in technology that changed the landscape of how people use the internet, potentially disrupting the way that the world does business.
