Orbit - An Hg software leadership podcast · The Scandinavian Question: Merete Hverven of Visma considers how the Nordics became a tech powerhouse · 9 Jul 2021 podcast

It's actually applauded.

And we do see lots of new tech startups popping up in the Nordics.

And without a doubt, in in every recession, looking at last year with the pandemic and I guess we're we're still in it, you always see a tech boost.

But the tech boost that we're seeing now, uh, after working from home, many of us for quite some time.

We've never seen anything like it.

Uh, it's just popping up wonderful businesses all over the place.

And uh and uh and whoever is delivering products or services that make it really easy and efficient to work from home, either it's e-commerce or it's e-signatures or e-invoices or whatever it is, that is definitely getting a boost.

So I think in the next years.

uh things will go even quicker because everyone wants to work and do their things and shop whenever, wherever they want.

And cloud has definitely made this happen.

And the customers, their expectations are increasing.

And now in the cloud, well, it is possible to connect all these products through APIs.

So either you want to do something within banking, fintech, uh, or ERP, or you want to go shopping.

Well, you can do that in the cloud.

I would say that a lot of people are talking about sort of the Nordics as the Silicon Valley tech house.

And and I do see a lot of similarities across these four countries.

Uh as you know, Vismo started in the Nordics, and we were sort of uh working in the Nordics for quite some time.

We definitely see that it's really tech-savvy.

I would say Finland is the furthest.

And if you look at the rankings on an educational level, well, they're the number one out of all countries in the world, actually.
