The greatest productivity gains in an economy are not achieved by having ICT, but by using it: ICT as an innovation axis. To be able to make use of ICT, a country needs a substantial endogenous software base. According to the authors of this contribution, the Dutch software sector provides this base with a gross value added of over 17 billion euros. They conclude that in a service-oriented economy, such a robust software base gives the ICT revolution great potential.
