In the past 10 years, Estonia has developed its IT industry and infrastructure. Projects like e-Estonia, e-residency, and VR Estonia, among others, transformed the country into a fully digitalized hub in the Baltic region. 

The IT sector itself plays an important role in the Estonian economy, registering a $278,73 million turnover in 2025. Also, ~6.0% of the entire Estonian workforce is enrolled in the IT industry, for those 4800+ digital companies that export their services in 130 countries. 

Why Work With Estonian IT Companies

Essential e-solutions in Estonia that enable the digital society to function smoothly were all built by local Estonian companies. This enhances the reliability of Estonian IT companies not only locally but also worldwide - about this, we will relate a bit later. 

The already built digital system in Estonia already tells a lot about Estonian IT companies that perform excellently, and are becoming more and more attractive not only for companies but also for skilled professionals who are enjoying preferential conditions. 

So, after all, why should you work with Estonian IT companies?! 

• Skilled workers who provide high-level digital services.
• Open market - that facilitates and eases access to IT resources and companies' services.
• Low taxes - compared with other European countries, Estonia helps local IT and tech companies generate sales by cutting taxes, which can reflect a lower price/project for the end customer.
• Healthy business environment  - a well-established communication between businesses is assured.

What You Should Pay Attention to When Working With Estonian It Companies

However, working with Estonian IT companies can also be tricky. Even though the post soviet reminiscences are not visible, you still can hit Russian Estonians that are providing the same IT services, but of a relatively lower quality, and in a very specific manner. Roughly, some of the companies are only benefiting from the developed IT environment in Estonia, but don’t follow the same guidelines as the vast majority of companies do. 

Another challenge is the limited human resources that Estonian companies have. The country’s population is just above 1.3 million people, and 6% of it is simply not enough to cover all market demands, so it would be difficult to find an available IT company based in Estonia to take on a big project or so. 

How Developed is the Estonian IT infrastructure

Estonia ranks among the top European countries with the highest IT infrastructure. As mentioned previously, its digital transformation made the country one of the regional innovation leaders. But even so, the country is still not done yet with developing its IT capabilities. 

How Does the Estonian IT Industry Perform Compared to the Neighboring Countries?

In the Baltics, Estonia is a detached leader in IT. Latvia and Lithuania are behind simply because they have focused on developing other sectors. But the Estonian performance is also motivated by people’s attachment to digital technologies. The continuously growing number of digital agencies confirms once again that Estonia ranks better than neighboring countries. 

But speaking about Estonia as an extension to Europe’s northern region, the country is in tight competition with Sweden and Finland, which also find themselves somewhere in the first half of the European IT community.

Compared to those two countries, Estonian companies will rather provide lower prices for their IT and digital services and products, but at the same time, Estonia has way more limited resources than Sweden or Finland. 

All in all, Estonia is a great country to consider for digital projects, and local companies' rich experience with digital transformation can make a difference for their projects.

Mobile app development is the process of creating mobile apps for popular mobile operating systems like Android and iOS. 

There are about 7 billion smartphones worldwide, meaning that more than 85% of the world’s population has a mobile device at their disposal to perform various tasks online or offline.

Having a mobile app, businesses can reach a wider audience and have more control over their marketing activities. The benefits are obvious:

• Increases your brand awareness
• Creates a new marketing channel
• Creates a new feedback channel
• Improves your customer service
• Builds customer loyalty
• Improves your sales flow

Choosing the right mobile app development company to work with is not an easy task. There are multiple aspects to consider:

• Location
• Price
• Team size
• Previous experience
• Turnover time
• Communication means

Do Businesses Need Mobile Apps? The Answer is Obvious

Users are currently browsing and using different platforms and channels (AI chatbots, search engines, social media, email, etc.) to make a decision and ultimately purchase a product/service. Mobile devices became a significant part of their lives, so businesses need to adapt and deliver solutions for different kinds of devices and operating systems.

At minimum, businesses would need to offer a mobile app listed on Play Market (for Android) or App Store (for iOS), or offer a mobile first user experience on their websites.

The reality is that more than half of the companies don’t have a mobile app yet, or are just planning to develop one.

According to the latest survey on mobile apps conducted by TechBehmoths, 62% of businesses don’t have a mobile app and don’t plan to develop one, while around 19% of businesses don’t have one, but are planning to create one in the future, and 30% of businesses have a mobile app.

Of those firms that have one, the most popular mobile application types are the following:

• Cross-platforms mobile apps - when mobile apps are coded once and compatible with multiple mobile operating systems like Android and iOS

• Native apps - when mobile apps are specifically created for iOS, Android or any other mobile operating system

• PWA (progressive web apps) - these are web applications that provide a mobile app like experience on web browsers (desktop or mobile)

Companies can benefit from mobile apps in multiple ways. Here are the main advantages:

• Customer acquisition - there are billions of smartphone users worldwide, so it’s essential to reach your customers on the devices they use

• Revenue growth - mobile apps provide an extra channel to grow your revenue. With the rise of mobile banking, payments and transactions are not happening solely on desktops devices anymore. Digital commerce spend is expected to reach around $34 Trillion by 2029 (source)

• Brand visibility - mobile apps offer a consistent channel for brand awareness and marketing

• Internal operations - some companies choose the convenience of mobile apps to run internal operations like education, onboarding, HR, logs/checks, etc.

• Customer service - serving customers via mobile apps might be the fastest and most efficient way to keep them happy

• Customer retention - mobile app push notifications is possibly the fastest way to keep clients engaged and offer promotions

• Availability - mobile apps are there for users 24/7

Having a website might not be enough to acquire new customers and serve existing ones. Today's reality is that pretty much everyone is online and using a smartphone device for both entertainment and work.

Mobile apps will inevitably become a priority for most businesses in the next couple of years.

Companies have the option to build mobile apps in house or hire mobile app development providers. For less complex projects, low-code or no-code app tools might be worth considering.

If you have a mobile app project and don’t know where to start, or have an established business and need to expand by launching a mobile app, TechBehmoths offers an easy and straightforward Project Submission tool.

Simply include the requirements of your project and our system will match it with the most appropriate mobile app development companies. You will then receive curated quotes, and be able to shortlist/get in touch with the right companies to execute your projects.
