Abstract: This study examines the relationship between digital skills and national digital performance in European countries. Using cross-country regression analysis, it explores how different levels of digital skills are statistically associated with indicators of digital development, such as connectivity, digital public services, and the adoption of digital technologies. The results demonstrate a significant correlation between digital skills and digital performance indicators. These findings contribute to understanding how national skill levels correspond with digital advancement and may inform strategic planning within the EU’s Digital Decade objectives.
