Problem Statement
Scientific collaboration across geographies is hampered by fragmented tools, barriers to engagement, and the absence of intelligent content delivery that surfaces what is most relevant to each researcher. OXTalks needed a platform purpose-built for the scientific community with AI personalisation, multilingual access, and high reliability.
