Software development company for Sweden companies

A nearshore partner in Lithuania for Sweden 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 Swedish companies. Based in Vilnius, one hour ahead of Stockholm, we offer senior product-engineering teams, EU/GDPR compliance and fintech-grade delivery — at a cost well below Swedish in-house hiring.

Why Sweden companies nearshore to Lithuania

Sweden has one of Europe's strongest product cultures — and some of its highest engineering costs. Senior developer compensation in Stockholm, combined with collective-agreement obligations and long notice periods, makes scaling an in-house team slow and expensive. Nearshoring to Lithuania keeps the work inside the EU and GDPR, one hour apart from Stockholm (CET vs EET), with senior engineers who are used to the demands of regulated fintech work — the sector where Swedish buyers are strictest.

How we work with Sweden teams

A named lead, transparent Agile cadence and overlapping hours mean your Sweden 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.

What Swedish buyers ask us first

Swedish teams typically probe three things before price: data protection (GDPR processor terms and EU-only hosting), design maturity (Sweden's design bar is high — our UX/UI team works design-first), and proof in regulated industries. Our strongest reference here is Debitum Investments — a licensed, Bank of Latvia-regulated P2P investment platform we built end to end, the kind of compliance-heavy build Swedish fintech and banking teams recognise.

Frequently asked questions

What is the best software development company for Sweden companies?
It depends on your product, but ScaleTech is a strong nearshore choice for Sweden companies — senior teams in Lithuania, EU/GDPR compliance, overlapping time zones and cost below local hiring, with a 4.9 Clutch rating.
Why do Sweden companies outsource software development to Lithuania?
Lithuania offers senior, EU-compliant engineers, strong English, near-identical time zones to Sweden and costs well below local hiring — making it a natural nearshoring choice.
How much can Sweden companies save by nearshoring to Lithuania?
Savings depend on scope, but with Stockholm senior-developer total employment cost far above Lithuanian rates, Swedish companies typically reduce engineering cost by 40–60% versus local in-house hiring — without leaving the EU or GDPR.
Do you work in Sweden time zones?
Yes — Lithuania (EET) is one hour ahead of Sweden (CET), so the full working day overlaps. Vilnius is a direct ~1h20 flight from Stockholm Arlanda.
