Conscensia sees a huge potential in the Norwegian and Swedish market. These markets have a high demand for talented software developers, just as in the rest of Western Europe. IKT Norway’s survey from 2017 showed that 38% of their members have had IT job vacancies, but were unable to find qualified candidates for the positions. Unfortunately, it resulted in 42% of the members having to reject orders/projects.
In order to help these businesses, Conscensia has expanded our Scandinavian sales team by hiring Vidar Øvrebø as Regional Sales Director on the Norweigan and Swedish market. Vidar’s primary task is to find new clients on these markets, as he has many years of experience within the IT and Marine & Offshore sector.

Conscensia coordinates many activities for our developers in Ukraine – our recent challenge was a Conscensia Team for a half marathon in the city Lviv, where our development center is located.
Some of our Ukrainian developers were ready to participate, along with our Danish CEO Carsten Hansen and Project Manager Oluf Brix Hiltmar from our Danish client/co-owner Systematic. It was a well-organized race, which both entailed some good altitude metres and a route in many exciting parts of Lviv.
It generates team spirit when common interests (in addition to the passion for software development) creates a bond and give us shared sociale experiences and memories!
