Sovereign AI Is Here: Canada's Language Intelligence Revolution | André Palaguine & Mugais Jahangir

from Localization Fireside Chat · host Mugais Jahangir, Andre Palaguine, Robin Ayoub

In this episode Robin reconnects with an old colleague from the Lexi-tech International days, André Palaguine, now CEO of the newly launched LIC Language Intelligence Corporation. Joining them is Mugais Jahangir, CRO of LIC and Head of Sales at memoQ, the Hungarian language technology leader whose platform powers the LIC product stack. Together they cover: how the localization industry has transformed since the early days when translation was not even a recognized business term, the strategic thinking behind building a joint venture rather than an organic startup, what the "bring your own LLM" design philosophy means for enterprise clients who cannot afford data exposure, the launch of Fluent as LIC's first product, Canada's window to lead the world in sovereign AI, and an open invitation to the upcoming LIC event at the Economic Club of Canada.
