In the global business landscape, artificial intelligence (AI) is no longer an option but a necessity for the future of SMEs<\/strong>. AI-based technologies are already transforming markets, redefining business models and rewriting the rules of international competitiveness. In an increasingly interconnected and fast-paced environment, ignoring this revolution means risking being left out of the game<\/strong>. And this is not only a major problem for large technology companies: the innovation challenge also crucially affects small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), which are often the engine of the local economy but are still slow or ill-equipped to adopt AI solutions<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Indeed, SMEs have an opportunity to ride this transformation<\/a> to improve productivity, optimize processes and reach new markets<\/strong>. However, to reap the full benefits of these technologies, it is critical to act now. Procrastination means leaving the field open to faster and more forward-looking competitors, compromising the ability to compete in the long run.<\/p>\n

AI-based technology solutions and specific applications are numerous and available. It is a matter of knowing them and understanding \u201cwhat they can be used for.\u201d An interesting and very useful example is given to us by Aqrate, an Italian SME that has based its business on combining AI and human intelligence\/skills<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The Aqrate case as an inspiration for the future of SMEs<\/h2>\n

Artificial intelligence has made great strides and has been on everyone’s lips for some time now. But who is really proposing solutions that give tangible results without compromising quality and control?\u2028 At the current state of technology, a language translation made with AI is fluent and well exposed even in the parts that contain conceptual errors. This makes it more difficult to identify any errors without careful and competent revision of the entire translation. And serious proofreading essentially negates the economic benefits of having done the translation with AI.<\/p>\n

And this is precisely where Aqrate<\/strong> comes in, the only solution on the market that can guarantee huge savings in translation costs while raising the quality of translations<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Aqrate’s clients are large companies that export their products and services and have high volumes of documentation to translate (manuals, marketing, legal, etc.). One of these is Leonardo Spa, whose Procurement Manager for Digital Performance and Services<\/strong>, Michelangelo Fani<\/strong>, expressed himself this way already after the first year of collaboration: \u201cThrough a constructive collaboration it was possible to see results right away both in terms of quality and economic efficiency.\u201d A concrete example of value-added Open Innovation and collaboration between industry and SMEs, to be reflected upon as a model for other experiences.<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n

Aqrate’s solution is unique in the market because it completely changes the paradigms of the translation world:<\/p>\n
