5 Years of Axfood Tech Development Program
2022: The Starting Point
Nexer Tech Talent launches the first program together with Axfood IT. The focus: SAP — a critical competence gap.
By combining technical expertise with soft skills, a strong foundation is built. The result? 4 out of 5 participants remain and continue strengthening Axfood’s SAP capabilities.
2023: Cloud as the Next Chapter
With a successful first year behind them, Nexer Tech Talent and Axfood take the program to the next level. The focus shifts to cloud development with AWS.
The program evolves with market needs — and delivers. The result? Every participant moves on to a role within Axfood.
2024: Broader and Stronger
The program grows and now spans several parts of Axfood’s organisation.
The focus remains on SAP, with an even stronger emphasis on soft skills to prepare talents for reality — not just the role.
2025: Scaling Up. Thinking Ahead.
The focus shifts to integration, cloud, and infrastructure — areas shaping the business of tomorrow.
