Linguamatics continues to grow and attract new customers. This year, the company will increase its work force by over 25 percent, in both Europe and the US.

“From the beginning we recognized that international markets, especially the US and Europe, would be key to successful company growth.

Linguamatics’ software platform, I2E, uses NLP to go beyond conventional search and understand the meaning of text.

Commenting on winning the award, Executive Chairman, John M. Brimacombe said, “Traditionally, the US has been a hard market for British companies to succeed in. But through the strength of our world-class technology and the outstanding team we have built, we have become a market-leader.
