In the 90s, Scandinavian businesses started opening offices in Tallinn and outsourcing finance to people they had never met. But back then, no one called it nearshoring.
Our guest – Stig Terje Henriksen of Autobahn Technologies – arrived in Estonia from Denmark in 1996 and stayed for three decades. He watched the country transform from a low-cost experiment into a trusted partner for Nordic companies.
So, how did a country of 1.3 million people win contracts from Norwegian Air, Nordic banks, and global BPO firms like WebHelp? And how did that same foundation lead to Estonian SaaS selling to Peugeot, Opel, Fiat, and Alfa Romeo?
Trace Estonia’s 30-year rise from manual bookkeeping to automotive software with Terje and host Alex Antonuk.
