Collaborative Innovation (CI) delivers high value and practical translation solutions directly to enterprises.

Together with Europe’s power players in research and innovation, including global enterprises such as Daimler AG, leading universities and research centres such as the University of St. Gallen and the Fraunhofer Institute (inventors of MP3 technology) and others, LTC is using CI to develop and bring to market breakthrough language technologies that are international in scope, can be used directly by private and public enterprise and which are of wide benefit to society as a whole.

CI has many benefits over traditional corporate research and development (R&D) approaches. Specifically, CI is not hindered by the artificial restraints that result from short term shareholder demands or myopic perspectives from limited customer feedback sources. CI - by its nature of involving multiple sources of knowledge capital with the mandate to innovate for the greater good - takes a broader, free, unrestricted and democratic approach to understanding the real needs and technological opportunities of the enterprise and global businesses. Thus CI can create, refine and commercialise the resulting new language technologies much faster and more efficiently than traditional R&D methods.
