For newcomers, integrating into society can be complex, especially if their native language is not the local language. In Germany and Austria, this issue is a distant memory, thanks to SAVD, created by our guest today, Gregory Heckl.

You need to speak to interact with the Employment Administration, access Justice, or attend a medical appointment... If you don’t speak the language, everything becomes more complicated.

It is from this observation that Gregory Heckl, our guest, decided to create SAVD, a company that provides newcomers with access to interpreters to manage all interactions with businesses and public services in German-speaking areas.


SAVD is now a leader in the audio and video interpretation market in Austria and Germany. It enables residents in these countries from all over the world to communicate and exchange ideas securely, quickly, and in a way that meets their respective needs, regardless of time and place.

A user-friendly platform that allows newcomers to communicate with interpreters (63 languages are spoken) who guide them to settle in as best and as quickly as possible in their new life.

With several concrete examples, our guest has highlighted this success across the Rhine. Inclusion and integration are the pillars of success, and Gregory Heckl strives to create a positive impact in these areas.

Gregory explains during this interview how and why he chose to help newcomers in this way.
