Abstract: This paper examines the relationship between the Summary Innovation Index (SII) and certain ICT readiness indicators, including the Network Readiness Index (NRI) and the Human Resources in Science and Technology (HRST) Index, across the EU-27 countries. The objective is to gain a deeper understanding of how digital infrastructure and human capital contribute to innovation performance within the region. The results obtained confirm the previous research of the authors of this paper regarding the close connection between innovation and ICT. In the second part of the paper, we conducted a case study in which we analyzed the innovation and ICT readiness landscapes in Estonia and Romania, two countries that present a clear contrast.
