Wow, seven Years of LangTec!

Time flies when you’re havin’ fun they say. Can’t believe it’s been seven whole years since the very beginning of LangTec. Today to the day it was that LangTec was registered with the local authorities.
The amazing thing is that things are getting more and more exciting by the day. While AI has been our focus since day one, it’s great to see how much intelligent systems have arrived in the market place today. No week goes by without several new requests on AI solutions coming in. We look forward to many more of those over the next seven years. Thanks to our great team and to all our faithful clients. It’s a great thing happening here 🙂
