Navigating the East: Why Standards and Security Are Key to the Asian Market
Free Webinar

In many Asian markets, security and privacy requirements carry more weight with buyers than translation quality. For European language service providers, this shifts how we think about standards, workflows, and ROI. In a fast-moving, price‑driven environment shaped by bots and LLMs, the real differentiator is the ability to run complex, secure workflows at scale.
This session brings together industry leaders to share lessons learned and insights from working across Asian markets.
Balázs Kis (memoQ) will share practical insights on:
- A global view of privacy, information security, and AI governance laws and standards, with a focus on Asia
- Key takeaways from translation standards in Arabic‑speaking markets
Yana Dinchiyska (1‑StopAsia) will lead a discussion grounded in operational experience, including:
- How foundational standards such as ISO 17100 are changing as the industry moves beyond a “translation and editing” model to a broader localization workflow
- Using AI as a strategic tool: how established processes can incorporate AI safely and responsibly
- What European LSPs truly need for ROI when entering Asian markets, with clear distinctions between “good‑to‑have” and essential requirements—particularly ISMS and ISO 27001
Who should attend
This session is designed for localization professionals and LSPs working with, or planning to enter, Asian markets.
