    Commenting on the appointment, Welham stated: "It's an honour to be selected to take part in the LT-Innovate Steering Committee, alongside such highly respected individuals.

    "Of fundamental importance to me in playing a role in the LT Innovate Steering Committee is to ensure that the value and potential of innovative language technologies are fully explored, focusing on the challenges we face in pushing forward the commercialisation of language technology, and enabling, where possible, business collaboration and relationships to develop across Europe throughout the industry. I'm looking forward to drawing upon my own and CereProc's experience to help the European language technology industry compete on the global stage, and thereby to create more high value jobs in Europe. Europe now more than ever needs a successful IT industry to ensure continuing success in all existing and new markets," Welham added.
