Pillar profile

Insight engine

Netherlands ranks #8 of 48 on the Cognitive Coefficient (65.7/100), with a trajectory classified as Maintaining relative to the frontier. Its strongest pillars are data, digital literacy; the binding constraints are ai adoption, knowledge infrastructure.

Risks

  • Readiness outpaces utilization: infrastructure exists but augmentation is under-adopted.

Opportunities

  • Largest headroom in AI Adoption (42.0/100) — targeted investment compounds fastest here.
  • Largest headroom in Knowledge Infrastructure (47.2/100) — targeted investment compounds fastest here.

Recommended actions

  • Prioritise the weakest pillar (AI Adoption) to lift the geometric-mean development index (CDI).
  • Convert access into utilization: workforce AI-skilling and agentic-workflow adoption.
  • Broaden the base (education + data governance) to raise resilience and reduce concentration risk.
