On Monday 9 February, Nóvalo was in charge of the consecutive interpreting service during the various communications presented in the event “Connect to solve: social innovation from Europe”, celebrated at La Noria social innovation centre, subordinate to the Malaga Provincial Council. The aim of the event was primarily identifying innovative solutions to the needs of the region.

Our colleague Catherine (see picture below), conference interpreter, was in charge of building the communication bridges among the speakers and the attendants to the event; she carried out her duty in a professional and rigorous manner, receiving compliments from the organization itself. A professional translation and interpreting service is a key factor to be successful during any event planning and organisation, above all when issues of top relevance are discussed.

La Noria Conference Room

Nóvalo is proud to collaborate in the dissemination of knowledge, building communication bridges among different languages in any sort of event. In a global economy in which internationalisation plays an key role, the multilingual communication strategies of companies and public institutions must meet the most demanding expectations, both in terms of translation and interpreting, but we should not forget other relevant topics such as multilingual SEO, web localisation or multilingual digital marketing and communication.
