[vc_row][vc_column][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”5/12″][vc_single_image image=”10700″ img_size=”large”][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”7/12″][vc_column_text]It’s no secret that barely anyone (let alone translators) can run a successful business all by themselves. Many have heard that the right collaboration might work wonders in times of famine – and not only. But you might wonder ‘Where should I start and how to find that perfect business partner to scratch each other’s back?’

Some translators collaborate with fellow translators, other reach out to businesses from other industries. While the first option seems to be the more intuitive approach for many, it’s the second one that might grant you access to clients you could have only dreamed about.

This talk aims to explore some of the countless business opportunities that collaborations outside the language industry can bring and to give you some practical advice on how to make most of it.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_separator color=”blue” border_width=”2″][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”9/12″][vc_column_text]Volina is a Romanian-native conference interpreter, translator and editor based in Vienna, Austria, who works with Romanian, German, and English.
