Our Story


Back in 2003, the life sciences sector was globalizing at pace. As trials became more international, and regulatory requirements more complex, clients were struggling to find providers with the expertise the sector demanded.

Conversis was founded as a specialist translation partner who really understood the industry. Our purpose was to give clients a level of focus, care, and expertise they weren’t getting from their generalist providers.

We focused entirely on life sciences, building our processes, tools, and workflows around it. We filled our team with sector experts, built out quality processes to fit the requirements of life sciences, and even acquired a regulatory and pharmacovigilance agency to reinforce this part of the business.

More than 20 years later, that focus hasn’t changed.

Our Vision.

To be the global benchmark for excellence and innovation in life sciences translation.

Our People.


Over the years, Conversis has grown significantly – expanding our numbers, our global footprint, and our specialist capabilities. Today, we are a team of project managers, technology experts, and standards specialists, all with years of experience navigating the intricacies of the sector.

Our in-house team is supported by a network of 3,000+ life sciences linguists. Each linguist is a subject matter expert and has been vetted extensively by our vendor management team. They allow us to provide services across 330+ language combinations and 110 countries.

Collectively, the service we offer our clients is unmatched in the sector. That’s why so many of life sciences’ major players have chosen us as their translation partner for the last 20+ years.

Our Mission.

Conversis creates tailored solutions for complex life sciences challenges, combining expert linguists with bespoke technologies. Our clients' needs guide us, and we are fully committed to supporting their global success.

Our Approach.


Conversis works with clients right across the life sciences spectrum, including CROs, healthcare communications agencies, medical device manufacturers, solutions providers, and global pharmaceutical companies. We build strong, long-term partnerships, providing agile, scalable services to our clients. Unlike some of the super agencies, we don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach and are led by what we observe, discuss, and agree with each client.

From our inception as a company, we have been innovation-led in our approach. Our people are encouraged to continuously question why they do things a certain way, and consider where value could be added through innovation. This has resulted in the creation of many efficiency tools and AI automations over the years. Latterly, this has come to include AI translation, where it adds value. Our ethos is to embrace AI thoughtfully; not just for its own sake; and we continuously look for opportunities to apply it intelligently and purposefully in the achievement of our mission.

Our Values.

We build partnerships
We innovate with purpose
Our agility is our strength

What our clients say about working with us.

The team was always approachable throughout the entire project and worked effectively so that we were able to meet our tight deadline. The linguist’s understanding of the biology and technical aspects of the project resulted in the production of a highly competent translated document. We can therefore only recommend their work.
Silke Fuchs, Regulatory Scientist at Target Malaria
Conversis is a great partner to work with. They are extremely responsive and accommodating from start to finish. They provide a high-quality service and enable us to hit deadlines for important clients. We consider them one of our trusted partners, and they have never let us down.
Project Manager at Langland
I know some of the requests on these studies have not been typical and we have asked a lot of Conversis, but you really have stepped up and delivered. With your attention to detail, knowledge of the processes, diligence, and hard work to ensure the job gets done, you have made a significant impact on the work we are able to deliver here at IQVIA.
