Partnership with Localization World

This year, the Globalization Challenge is excited to partner with Localization World, the preeminent conference for global business enablement. The semifinals will take place live at Localization World Seattle in October 2012, with the winning team advancing to the final championship round in March 2013.

2012 Highlights

The Globalization Challenge began as a spirited quest to find the team with the most knowledge of global markets, content, globalization and localization. With more than 21 total matches held online and in cities across North America, the field of 50 teams was reduced to two, as KCI and Research in Motion competed in the first-ever live finals at SDL Innovate. In the end, KCI took home the title of the 2012 Globalization Challenge winning team!

“I thoroughly enjoyed participating in the Globalization Challenge. It was an interesting and fun combination of my personal interest in global geo-political trivia and the technical aspects of the work I do in the localization industry.”  -Research in Motion
