Compared to last year’s uncertainty, the tech market in 2026 feels more stable but sharper. Hiring is back just more selective. Fewer “hire fast” roles, more focus on engineers who can actually move the needle
In the Nordic tech scene, the picture is familiar
➡️ Demand for developers and engineers is still strong
➡️ Talent shortages haven’t gone away
➡️ Companies are prioritising quality over quantity
Java continues to quietly dominate backend and enterprise systems (especially fintech and large platforms), while Kotlin keeps growing in mobile and modern backend teams, particularly across Sweden and Norway
What’s changed since last year?
➡️ Higher bar for interviews
➡️ More hybrid/ remote as the default
➡️ Stronger focus on retention not just hiring
➡️ Full-stack, cloud and backend skills over job titles
How are others in the Nordic market experiencing this shift?

The data engineering frameworks that actually matter and why
“best” data engineering frameworks depend less on hype and more on what problem you’re solving
That said, a few frameworks consistently show up in high performing data teams
1. Apache Spark
2. Apache Kafka
3. dbt
4. Airflow and Dagster
5. Flink
💡The real insight
Mature data stacks aren’t built around a single framework. They’re built around clear separation of concerns, ingestion, processing, transformation and orchestration
Teams that struggle usually don’t have the wrong tools. They have the wrong expectations of those tools

Green finance is playing a critical role in shaping the future of the Nordic tech ecosystem
Across the Nordics, sustainability isn’t a side initiative, it’s built into how companies are founded, funded and scaled. Green finance is enabling tech start-ups to access capital that aligns innovation with environmental responsibility, particularly in climate tech, energy, fintech and data driven sustainability solutions
For founders, green funding open doors to long-term investment focused on impact as well as returns. For investors, it supports scalable technologies that help meet climate goals while driving economic growth. This alignment has positioned the Nordics as a global leader in sustainable innovation
Public private partnerships, ESG focused venture funds and government backed initiatives are accelerating this momentum helping Nordic tech companies more from ideas to impact faster
The result? A tech ecosystem where growth and sustainability go hand in hand. Green finance isn’t just funding the future of Nordic tech, it’s defining it
