Now, it was time for the next step for our company to be able to operate on a bigger scale. With Pegamento we see a match in the same way of thinking and being open for new possibilities. Above all, we are a good match on the technical field and with the commercial experience of Pegamento we can focus more on working on even more exciting and relevant technical projects.”

The most important skills used in customer contact.”, according to Serge Poppes CEO Pegamento. ‘We already interpreted written and spoken language for years, but now we can also detect and act on images and videos in real time.
