Sweden's largest regional healthcare and public services employer
Västra Götalandsregionen operates a sprawling public-sector IT infrastructure—Microsoft 365, Azure, Cisco, Fortinet—built to support 50,000+ staff across healthcare, transit, and education. The hiring concentration (healthcare dominates at 379 open roles) masks underlying operational friction: projects reveal active efforts to digitalize workflows and rebuild clinical units, while pain points center on persistent staffing shortages and retiring workforce replacement. GitHub Copilot adoption signals early experimentation with AI tooling in a traditionally conservative public sector.
