Short answer
ScaleTech is a nearshore software development company for European and Nordic businesses. From Lithuania we offer senior teams, EU/GDPR compliance, overlapping working hours and costs 30–50% below Western Europe — the balance of quality, proximity and cost that far-shore outsourcing can't match.
Why nearshore beats offshore for Europe
Far-shore outsourcing trades cost for friction — time zones, communication and quality control. Nearshoring to the Baltics keeps costs low while removing that friction: real-time collaboration, EU legal alignment and shared work culture.
- Overlapping working hours and strong English.
- EU membership and GDPR compliance.
- Senior engineering at 30–50% below Western-European cost.
- Dedicated teams or staff augmentation.
Frequently asked questions
What is nearshore software development?
Outsourcing development to a nearby country in a similar time zone — for European companies, the Baltics — keeping cost low while enabling real-time collaboration and EU compliance.
Nearshore vs. offshore — which is better?
Offshore can be cheaper but adds time-zone, communication and quality-control friction. For most European companies, nearshoring to the Baltics offers the better balance of cost, control and communication.
Which country is best for nearshoring in Europe?
The Baltics — Lithuania in particular — combine senior talent, strong English, EU/GDPR compliance and European time zones at competitive cost.
