This session provides a grounded overview of the translation and localization landscape in the Life Sciences and Medical sectors. We will explore the main fields of specialization and the types of clients you are likely to work with, from pharmaceutical and MedTech companies to research organizations and LSPs with dedicated life sciences services. The discussion will cover typical workflows and the different expectations you may encounter when working with agencies versus direct clients.

We will also highlight opportunities for continuing professional development (CPD) and the role of technology, including the increasing presence of AI, in shaping current practices. Finally, we will consider how events and networking can help you build credibility and expand your opportunities in this specialized field.
