Techritory 2025 is one of Europe’s leading forums on digitalisation and connectivity. This year bringing together an international audience of 100 speakers and 2,000 participants, covering such topics as 6G development, quantum technologies, AI, data security, and sustainable digital infrastructure.
To ensure every participant followed along fully engaged, organisers partnered with Tilde, integrating Tilde Event Assistant to provide real-time speech transcription and translation directly to attendees’ devices.
Making every voice heard
With attendees joining in person (880+) and online from 63 countries, it was crucial that everyone be able to follow the discussions. Each keynote, panel, and presentation needed to be fully accessible, without language barriers or the risk of missing important content due to hearing difficulties.
Hiring live interpreters for over 30 languages would have been prohibitively complex and expensive. The organisers needed a smarter, scalable solution to ensure every participant engaged in real time, while maintaining the dynamic pace of the forum.
A smarter way to translate live
To meet this challenge, Techritory chose Tilde Event Assistant, an AI-powered tool that provides real-time speech transcription and translation. During the two-day forum, attendees could access live captions and translations in 39 languages directly on their devices by scanning a QR code.
The QR code opened an internet browser that displayed the real-time transcript of what was being said on stage. Participants could read the text in their preferred language or listen to a translated voiceover, thanks to AI-powered voice synthesis.
The setup required no app installation and integrated smoothly with the venue’s audio system, offering a simple and inclusive way for everyone to stay engaged.
Clear communication, global reach
Tilde Event Assistant was available across three main stages of the forum:
- Opening Stage: 305 visitors
- Policy Stage: 105 visitors
- Innovation Stage: 65 visitors
In total, 475 participants accessed real-time captions and translations during the two-day event, choosing to read or listen in their preferred language for greater comfort and engagement. The most popular translation languages included Latvian, German, Estonian, Ukrainian, Lithuanian, Greek, Bulgarian, Finnish, Croatian, and French.
“Setting up Tilde Event Assistant was quick and straightforward, which made it easy for us to focus on the event itself. Attendees could follow every discussion in their preferred language without missing a thing. Several of our partners even approached us afterwards to ask more about the tool, impressed by its performance and scalability. It’s great to see a Latvian-made solution performing at a European and global level.”
