Nordic Tech Pioneer HiQ Strengthens Its Foothold in Germany as Scandio Rebrands

HiQ, a leading Nordic tech consultancy with 30 years of experience, expands its European presence as German technology & IT consultancy Scandio fully transitions into HiQ. This marks a key step in the ambition to further establish HiQ as a European leader.

HiQ has a long track record in the Nordic region and beyond, with main focus on custom software development across industries, particularly those at the forefront of technological advancement – including innovative energy, mobility, and industrial automation.

Scandio, which was acquired by HiQ a few years ago, has been an integral part of this journey. Now, by changing the name from Scandio to HiQ and fully integrating the German organization, HiQ further strengthens its ability to deliver business-critical tech solutions and deep industry expertise across Europe. Scandio also brings key capabilities, e.g., in cloud engineering, agile software development, and Atlassian expertise as a Platinum Solution Partner, further enhancing HiQ’s service offering.

Expanding Expertise for a Growing Market
​The expansion of the HiQ brand comes at a time of accelerating demand for high-quality, custom digital solutions spanning multiple markets. As businesses navigate increasing digitalization challenges, the need for partners with deep technical know-how and a footprint to solve demands locally but also across countries has never been greater. With geopolitical dynamics adding further complexity, Europe’s ability to drive digital transformation on its own is more critical than ever.

To answer these needs, HiQ now fosters stronger collaboration, deeper technical capabilities, and a seamless service experience for German and European clients, leveraging its international expertise and Nordic heritage in innovation, agility, and scalable technology. HiQ unites 1,700 tech experts with 23 offices in Sweden, Germany, Finland, and Poland.

“Scandio becoming HiQ comes at the perfect time. After more than 20 years as Scandio, we are now even better positioned to support businesses with cutting-edge digital solutions tailored to their needs,” says Christian Koch, co-founder of Scandio and Managing Director of HiQ in Germany.

“This is an exciting milestone for HiQ. Germany, as a key European hub, offers great potential for better serving our clients. Uniting under one brand strengthens our position locally while opening new collaboration opportunities in Europe. We combine local agility and expertise with the strength of an established Nordic consultancy, ensuring we can lead high-impact projects all over Europe," says Peter Arrhenius, CEO of HiQ Group.
