Nordic enterprises are accelerating digital transformation by rapidly adopting AI, cloud, and automation to enhance efficiency, resilience, and innovation amid rising cost pressures and talent shortages. They are strengthening cybersecurity and sovereign cloud capabilities in response to increasing cyberattacks and stricter EU/Nordic regulations. Enterprises are also expanding global competency centers (GCCs) to scale digital engineering and modernize legacy systems. Governments and companies are jointly addressing advanced skills gaps through large-scale upskilling, academic partnerships, and AI-enabled workforce tools. With strong regional commitments to sustainability, Nordic enterprises are deploying digital solutions to reduce emissions, improve energy efficiency, and advance green innovation across sectors.
Both demand-side and supply-side trends are covered in our Nordics Digital Services 2025–2026 Market Insights™ and Nordics Digital Services 2025–2026 RadarView™, respectively.
