Frankfurt am Main / Wolfsburg, 20 August 2025 – KERN Global Language Services is continuing its successful tradition and will remain the sponsor of VfL Wolfsburg in the 2025/26 season. This year's focus is on artificial intelligence (AI), with an emphasis on future technologies such as machine translation (MT) and real-time interpreting (RSI VoiceApp™), combined with a strong regional commitment in Lower Saxony.
AI as a driving force in the language services sector
Awarded the title of "Digital Champion – Company with a Future", KERN is one of the leading innovators in language services – both in terms of technology and also market strategy. The company was also ranked as the best German provider in the prestigious Nimdzi 100 Ranking 2025 – with a significant focus on AI-supported technologies and customised solutions that set new standards in global language management.
Regional roots & a strong presence
With numerous branches in Lower Saxony and neighbouring regions, KERN emphasises its regional proximity and purposefully brings this local strength to bear in its partnership with VfL Wolfsburg: whether through joint events, training opportunities for employees or in communication, the regional network remains an integral part of the commitment.
Sustainable partnership with social impact
The values respect, openness, tolerance and team spirit, which already formed the basis of this cooperation in 2022, are now more relevant than ever. Joint initiatives, such as sponsorship projects or language support in sport, are a visible sign of these values in operation. The collaboration not only serves sport, but also strengthens social integration and innovative power.
