Software development company for Norway companies

A nearshore partner in Lithuania for Norway companies — senior web and mobile teams, EU/GDPR compliance and overlapping working hours.

Last updated: 22 July 2026

Short answer

ScaleTech is a nearshore software development partner for Norwegian companies. Based in Vilnius, one hour ahead of Oslo, we offer senior product-engineering teams with GDPR-aligned delivery (Norway applies GDPR via the EEA) at a cost well below Norwegian in-house hiring.

Why Norway companies nearshore to Lithuania

Norway combines some of Europe's highest engineering salaries with a compact domestic talent market — particularly hard for scale-ups competing with the energy and maritime sectors for developers. Lithuania offers senior EU-based engineers one hour away (CET vs EET). A nuance Norwegian buyers care about: Norway is not an EU member but applies GDPR through the EEA agreement, so an EU processor in Lithuania fits directly into your existing compliance setup — no third-country transfer mechanics.

How we work with Norway teams

A named lead, transparent Agile cadence and overlapping hours mean your Norway team stays in control while we own delivery. We can run a full product build, embed engineers into your team, or provide a ring-fenced dedicated team.

Built for Norway's practical buyers

Norwegian companies tend to buy pragmatically: a named lead, transparent hours, working software over ceremony. That is our default operating model — and for consumer-facing work, our Nordic-adjacent reference is JUDU, a city-scale mobility app, plus fintech delivery like Debitum for teams in payments and lending.
