On June 15, Ted Ho, Associate Professor at the Centre for Translation and Interpreting, Head of International Cooperation and Admissions, Programme Director of the MA in Interpreting, and Communications Officer of the UK and Ireland Academic Alliance for Translation and Interpreting Programmes at Queen’s University Belfast, visited Grouphorse Group. Zhang Li, Chair of the Board of Grouphorse Group, warmly received the guest. The two sides held in-depth discussions around core topics such as AI technology empowering language services and collaborative talent development through industry-education integration.

At the meeting, Zhang Li introduced Grouphorse Group's overall layout and development achievements in the field of language services in detail to Ted Ho, with a focus on the Group’s latest progress in its AI data annotation business. As a leading enterprise deeply engaged in translation and language services, Grouphorse Group closely follows the global wave of AI technological development and has made forward-looking arrangements in the field of AI language data annotation. Relying on its professional expertise in multilingual translation and large-scale talent reserves, it has built a high-standard, professional language data annotation service system, providing high-quality data support for the training of large-scale AI models and the iteration of language intelligence technologies. Its relevant business results have been widely recognized by the industry and the market.

The two sides held full discussions on the system development, capacity building and implementation pathways of internship and practice programs for translation and interpreting students. Ted Ho gained an in-depth understanding of Grouphorse Group’s internship training mechanisms and industry practice platform resources, and expressed admiration for Grouphorse Group’s development achievements in AI data annotation. He said that the translation and interpreting program at Queen’s University Belfast has a proven academic training system and international academic resources, and always regards students’ industry practice capabilities as the core of its training. Grouphorse Group’s rich industry scenario resources and frontier business layout can provide translation students with a high-quality practical growth platform aligned with industry development trends.

During the exchange, based on the digital transformation trends of the language services industry, the two sides jointly explored diverse possibilities for universities and enterprises to deepen industry-education integration. Relying on Queen’s University Belfast’s academic strengths and international industry resources in translation and interpreting education, and combining Grouphorse Group’s industry practice platforms and AI data annotation business scenarios, the two sides can carry out in-depth cooperation in dimensions such as joint talent development, co-building of practice bases, and curriculum system optimization, achieving two-way empowerment between academic research and industrial application, and jointly developing high-end interdisciplinary translation talent suited to industry needs in the AI era.

This visit and exchange further deepened mutual understanding between Grouphorse Group and top international translation institutions, and built a solid communication bridge for subsequent international university-enterprise cooperation. In the future, Grouphorse Group will continue to leverage its core advantages on the industry side, continuously deepen its industry-education integration layout, join hands with high-quality education partners at home and abroad, explore new models and new pathways for language services talent development in the AI era, and support the digital transformation and high-quality development of the translation industry.
