Symantec will explain how collaboration with CNGL is benefitting their innovation programme, and Digital Linguistics will outline how CNGL research has brought their products from the lab to the marketplace. CNGL researchers will receive awards in recognition of their commercial success, and UL's Localisation Research Centre will present its annual LRC Best Thesis Award, sponsored by Symantec.

Addressing the two principal themes of CNGL - Supporting the Global Customer and Promoting the Multilingual Society - the Demonstrator Systems highlight the business and societal impact of collaborative scientific work conducted by the project partners.
