An Award That Recognizes a Purpose-Driven Business Model
In 2022, when Costa Rica was still recovering from a world that had barely removed its masks, Tilde received the BAC–La República Entrepreneurial Woman Award. The recognition went far beyond a trophy and a check. For us, it symbolized something greater: confirmation that a carefully designed business model—driven by purpose, excellence, and collaboration—can thrive in demanding markets.
This award celebrated women-led companies shaping the economic transformation of Costa Rica. Among many candidates, Tilde stood out for demonstrating that a translation services firm can create measurable business impact while fostering genuine professional cooperation. For us, collaboration is not a buzzword—it is a core business principle that distinguishes how we operate every day.
A Story Built on Collaboration and Vision
Tilde began as a bold idea rooted in reality. Its two founders, Gabriela Castro and Natalia Acuña, met over a decade ago in an academic environment and discovered a shared vision: to elevate the translation and interpretation industry in Costa Rica through professional standards, ethics, and teamwork.
That vision soon evolved into a structured, certified model. Rather than competing against peers, they built a professional network united by shared values and clear quality frameworks. Today, Tilde remains the first translation company in Central America certified under both ISO 9001 and ISO 17100—two globally recognized standards that verify rigorous quality and consistency. This achievement proves that purpose and precision can coexist, and that professionalism, when organized, scales sustainably.
Recognition That Reflects Our Clients’ Trust
This award belongs not only to Tilde but also to every company that places its trust in our work. Each client becomes part of a partnership that values transparency, accuracy, and efficiency. Those who work with us know they are engaging with an ally that:
-
Delivers auditable quality based on well-defined processes aligned with client objectives.
-
Builds long-term collaborations instead of competing for short-term gains.
-
Achieves sustainable results grounded in human and professional excellence.
Because meaningful business relationships are built on consistency, not improvisation.
From Recognition to Responsibility
Today, Tilde continues to grow alongside partners across highly regulated industries including life sciences, legal, and financial sectors. For us, the BAC–La República Award remains a reminder that excellence is not a static goal but a daily commitment. Each translation, interpretation, or project management process demonstrates our conviction that language services, when executed with integrity, contribute to safer, more compliant, and more connected organizations.
We like to think that we don’t just deliver translations—we deliver trust. In industries where precision defines success, that trust has immeasurable value.
