Information and communication technology has an effect on the variety of products and economic complexity by overcoming geographical boundaries and increasing the flow of information. The main goal of this research is to investigate the impact of information and communication technology components on economic complexity in a selected group of high-income countries. The research method is applied in terms of purpose and descriptive in terms of collecting data and information. The selected group of high income countries is Switzerland, Ireland, Sweden, Belgium, Netherlands, Denmark, Canada, Norway, Australia, America, France, Japan, Qatar and Singapore. The estimation of the model by the method of generalized moments and the time period studied in this research is 2010 to 2021. The information of the research variables is from the World Bank and MIT University website. According to the estimate made by GMM method, internet users and export of advanced technology have a significant impact on economic complexity. So that with a one percent increase in internet users and advanced technology exports, economic complexity increases by 0.0063 and 0.0284 percent, respectively. In this estimate, the import of ICT goods has not had a significant impact on economic complexity. Economic complexity has been affected by its own lag, so that with an increase of 1% of economic complexity with one lag, it causes a decrease of 0.176% of economic complexity. The positive impact of the Internet shows the ability to collect skills and capabilities in the production process of selected countries and consequently improve their economic complexity. Also, the export of advanced technology, which in its core includes high-tech exports and products with high research and development intensity, such as aerospace, computers, pharmaceuticals, scientific instruments and electrical machines, through the mutual communication of exporters with foreign buyers, receiving methods New in the production process and new ideas for capital productions and intermediaries appear in economic complexity.
