Geo marks 20 years providing life sciences translation
Geo Language Services, the specialist translation and language services company headquartered in Guildford, today celebrates 20 years in business.
Founded in 2006, Geo has grown from a small specialist team into a trusted partner for clients across highly regulated sectors. The company is ISO 9001 and ISO 17100 certified, a UN Global Compact participant, and a member of ISEP, ISTC, ATC and ISPOR.
Today, Geo serves clients across several key areas:
Life Sciences: clinical research, medical devices, medical publishing, COAs, linguistic validation and public health
Earth, Environment & Energy: translation specialists for all things geoscience, multidisciplinary ESIAs, ESG reporting and disclosures
Commercial: including legal translation and translations for the finance and insurance sectors.
The future of translation in the AI age
The translation industry is being reshaped by AI, and Geo enters its third decade clear-eyed about what that means. AI has become genuinely useful for some content types and dangerously sloppy in other areas. In the regulated sectors Geo serves, the difference matters.
Geo’s response is a deliberate one: invest in AI where it demonstrably helps clients with faster turnaround, lower cost, better consistency across large volumes while keeping qualified human linguists, subject-matter reviewers and validated processes at the centre of every regulated workflow. Advising on use cases for AI in multilingual environments is part of what Geo does.
Geo’s investment over the next phase will focus on three areas: deeper AI tooling for clients, expanded capacity and value-added services for life sciences, and continued growth of the specialist linguist network that underpins everything the company does.
