Public sector Nordic & Baltic Region
The Nordic and Baltic regions lead the world in digital society
Staying at the front requires more than just good ideas—it demands resilient infrastructure, digital sovereignty, and the ability to scale without being locked in. Red Hat helps public sector, government, healthcare, and education providers across the Nordics and Baltics build on what works. We provide the open-source foundation to automate processes, secure critical data, and innovate at the speed of your citizens’ expectations.
Digital Sovereignty
Take control of your digital borders
From the Nordics to the Baltics, public sector organizations are facing a common reality: keeping digital assets, data, and supply chains secure is getting harder. Dependency on single providers isn't just a tech risk—it's a sovereignty risk.
Red Hat gives you the keys back. By combining open hybrid cloud solutions with the open source model, we help you build a resilient infrastructure that isn't locked behind a proprietary door.
Why this works for our region:
- True sovereignty: Run your data on-prem, in the cloud, or at the edge—without losing control.
- Transparent security: Our open source DNA means no "black boxes." You see what’s under the hood.
- Local ecosystem: We work with the partners you already trust across the North and the Baltics.
Let’s build a digital future that’s as open and reliable as our own societies.
