lingomatch in conversation with Minister-President Anke Rehlinger.

At Saarbrücken Castle, the Saarland start-up lingomatch was presented to Minister-President Anke Rehlinger and to the State Secretary for Justice, Dr Jens Diener, as part of an institutional exchange.

Alongside other invited guests, the Federal Police Directorate in Koblenz was also represented and travelled specifically for the occasion. A clear sign of the shared interest in digital solutions in security and justice contexts.

lingomatch is an innovative project that uses digital solutions to support our authorities in their day-to-day work in a practical and effective way. Whether in the police, the courts or general administration, connecting interpreters regardless of location makes procedures considerably easier and creates new room for manoeuvre.

Digital interpreting as a structural challenge

lingomatch is building a digital platform that connects qualified and sworn interpreters to public authorities regardless of location. The aim is to support state bodies with interpreting efficiently, lawfully and promptly, particularly in sensitive areas such as the police, the courts and general administration.

In an increasingly diverse society, the question of understanding one another in dealings with public authorities continues to grow in importance. Delays caused by missing interpreting can lengthen proceedings, tie up resources and create legal uncertainty. lingomatch therefore treats interpreting not as an add-on but as part of modern administrative infrastructure.

A discussion on digitalisation and the rule of law

After a pitch by founder Florian Crosbie, an open and constructive dialogue followed among the representatives present from politics, administration and the security authorities. The focus was on practical feasibility, the legal framework and how digital solutions can be integrated into existing administrative structures.

The start of the founding phase

The meeting at Saarbrücken Castle also marked the official start of lingomatch's founding phase. The venture builds on a purpose-built proof of concept and is now being developed structurally. The company is relying on close cooperation with public bodies and on pilot projects to test the platform in everyday practice.
