Abstract: Previous researches have shown that the Innovation performance is in a strong link with the Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) readiness, at European Union level. In this article, we have investigated if these results still maintain in 2015, according to data published in 2016 reports, and whether they are dependent on the indicator used for measuring innovation. Using unifactorial linear regressions, a comparative analysis has been developed: we modeled the relationship between the Networked Readiness Index (NRI) – created by the World Economic Forum, in collaboration with INSEAD, and published yearly since 2002- and: (1) the Global Innovation Index (GII) – published yearly since 2007, by INSEAD in collaboration with WIPO, Cornell University and their Knowledge Partners, on one hand, and (2) the Summary Innovation Index (SII) – created on the initiative of the European Commission and computed yearly since 2001- on the other hand. The transversal linkage between the two pairs of indicators for the 28 Member States were tested. The results show a strong relationship between ICT and innovation in 2015. This relationship is not accidental - it has been verified using historical data for the last 8 years.
