In business, effective communication is the cornerstone of success. This is true whether you’re in a high-stakes meeting, pitching to investors or meeting with your team. However, communication is challenging in multilingual settings where language barriers can lead to misunderstandings. 

Companies have traditionally defaulted to English when participants don't speak the same language. In-person interpreters and remote simultaneous interpreters are primarily used at high-stakes meetings or big conferences because, while effective, these solutions take time to organise and can be expensive. Fortunately, we’ve entered a new era where AI-driven technology has made language translation more accessible and affordable for businesses of all sizes. 

Global cooperation plays a crucial role in stimulating economic development. Within the finance and insurance sectors, multilingual meetings and events play a vital role.

At the same time, failure to understand technical and financial terms creates a meeting experience that is as frustrating for the speaker as it is for the participants.
