BRUSSELS, BELGIUM, May 8, 2020 - (ACN Newswire) - Interactio, a
remote interpretation platform, has partnered with the European
Commission to connect political leaders and philanthropists at the
international pledging conference "Coronavirus Global Response." In
the midst of the global crisis, Interactio assisted the European
initiative in the joint effort to raise 7.5 billion EUR in
donations to Gali, the vaccine alliance fighting the COVID-19.
As strict quarantine regulations divided the states geographically,
the common cause to find timely and affordable treatment brought
the five continents together in a multilingual hybrid meeting. To
ensure the precision and quality of simultaneous interpretation,
Interactio connected onsite interpreters from European Commission
premises with the world leaders joining the event remotely.
Through the integration of the audio and video stream in
partnership with Televic Conference equipment, the message was
successfully shared in English, German, French, Spanish, Arabic,
and Chinese languages in real time.
The Chancellor of Germany, Angela Merkel, the President of France,
Emmanuel Macron, the Prime Minister of Japan, Shinzo Abe, and
leaders of more than 40 other nations from Europe, Australia, Asia,
North, and South America united against Coronavirus digitally on
the Interactio remote participation panel.
During the remote conference, Melinda Gates shared an important
message for humanity, followed by a generous donation of 100
million American dollars from Bill & Melinda Gates
Foundation.
"COVID-19 has reminded us that viruses don't obey borders or custom
laws. They don't care what nationality you are," said Gates.
"Interactio became the platform of choice for this event. The Heads
of State and Government as well as other major donors and research
institutions connected to the smooth, user-friendly and performant
platform and pledged substantial amounts for the common fight
against the pandemic. This successful high-level event was a
milestone for everybody involved, and we would like to sincerely
thank Interactio for their tireless preparation work, dedication,
availability and unrelenting support throughout the event. We are
very much looking forward to further cooperation." states Frederic
Pirotte, Head of the Technical Compliance Team, DG Interpretation,
European Commission.
Overall, a total of 7.4 billion EUR was fundraised during the
pledging conference, leaving high hopes for the speedy development
of the treatment. As the world unites in a humanitarian effort to
protect the disadvantaged in an unexpected outbreak of the
Coronavirus disease, Interactio remains loyal to its ongoing
mission of transmitting powerful ideas despite the geographical
barriers.
