BorderPlus Introduces AI-Powered Language Coaching App at Hauptstadtkongress 2025
Built on proprietary voice-to-text models, the app immerses nurses in realistic simulations from German hospitals, care homes, and everyday settings. With high customization and simple integration, it redefines how language training is delivered in healthcare.
Although many international nurses arrive with B2 certification, a large number still struggle with communication or fail professional recognition, not due to lack of knowledge, but from limited clinical language preparation.
'Many B2-certified nurses fail recognition, not because they lack knowledge, but because they aren't trained in the communication, tone, and clinical context German hospitals expect,' said Leon Bauer, Managing Director of Onea Care and member of the fair recruitment board. 'This app was built to close that gap, turning B2 on paper into B2 in practice.'
Key Features Include:
AI-Powered Roleplays
Real-Time Pronunciation and Tone Feedback
Communication Scoring
Employer Dashboards
Presented to hospital leaders, policymakers, and educators, the live demo was followed by a private networking lunch. For employers, the app offers a way to ensure nurses are prepared before arrival, reducing delays, improving team integration, and supporting better patient care.
'Hospitals are fast-paced, multilingual, and emotionally intense. This app prepares nurses for that reality, not just by testing vocabulary, but by challenging how they perform under pressure,' said Ayush Mathur, Co-founder of BorderPlus. 'Each interaction mirrors real clinical moments, making communication feel instinctive by the time nurses enter a ward.'
The app is part of a three million dollar initiative to strengthen Germany's healthcare workforce. BorderPlus aims to place over 3,000 nurses by March 2026 through a tech-enabled, transparent migration process.
'We are building the future of workforce mobility through systems that ensure consistency and accountability,' said Mayank Kumar, CEO and Co-founder. 'This platform combines structured training with clear tracking to deliver better outcomes for professionals and institutions.'

Deutsche Telekom to boost IT efficiency
German telecommunications company Deutsche Telekom plans to enhance its IT operations by implementing IBM Concert, an AI-powered automation solution. According to IBM, this initiative aims to improve efficiency in patch management and security activity orchestration within Deutsche Telekom's digital infrastructure. IBM Concert employs AI-driven recommendations and workflows powered by IBM watsonx to streamline IT operations. This adoption is expected to significantly reduce operational costs and improve response times in addressing vulnerabilities. Patches are essential for securing software environments, and IBM Concert facilitates this by integrating various data sources to create a comprehensive plan for prioritised patching. IBM global managing director Steve Canepa said: 'Security and trust are the cornerstones of success for all telecommunications companies. 'IBM Concert incorporates modern AI and automation technologies so that Deutsche Telekom can stay ahead of the dramatically escalating number and complexity of critical vulnerabilities across their hybrid cloud platform." IBM revealed that Deutsche Telekom's decision to implement this solution follows a successful pilot that demonstrated substantial gains in efficiency. During the pilot, the median time to patch critical vulnerabilities was reduced from 80 hours to eight hours. Deutsche Telekom group chief information officer (CIO) Peter Leukert said: "Secure operating systems form the foundation for all applications, databases, and services that we offer our customers. When it comes to patching, the time factor has taken on a critical role in the AI era. 'Those who use available updates immediately and automatically can reduce security risks. We face this challenge together with our partner. "We were looking for a standalone solution on the market that combines all the complex aspects of patch management and reliably automates everything." IBM Concert aggregates data from security scans, application information, and publicly available databases to develop an optimised patching strategy. This process is claimed to decrease patching time per instance from 90 minutes to 20 minutes, freeing IT teams for more strategic tasks. The solution supports fully automated installation of operating system patches for platforms such as Microsoft Windows Server and Red Hat Enterprise Linux. It integrates tools like Ansible Playbooks in cloud environments, ensuring seamless execution within maintenance windows. The automation process includes generating ServiceNow change requests and documenting results in the IT service management system. This ensures compliance, improves traceability of changes, and provides a quick overview for maintaining hybrid cloud environments.

Global Tourism Surging Ahead of Economic Growth, With Visits to Hit 30 Billion by 2034
LONDON--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- The World Economic Forum has today published a new report forecasting that the travel and tourism industry is projected to serve 30 billion tourist trips by 2034. Travel and Tourism at a Turning Point: Principles for Transformative Growth, produced in collaboration with Kearney and the Ministry of Tourism Saudi Arabia, reveals a projected $16 trillion contribution to global GDP by the same year—representing more than 11% of the total world economy, according to World Travel & Tourism Council estimates. The report also found that the sector is expanding 1.5 times faster than the global economy, generating significant commercial opportunities as long as the mounting challenges of climate change, labour shortages and infrastructure gaps are addressed. Inbound and outbound trips increasing fast Asia is on track to become the world's fastest-growing tourism economy, with the direct travel and tourism GDP contribution expected to exceed 7% across the region by 2034. Notably, India and China alone will represent more than 25% of all outbound international travel by 2030. Countries such as Sri Lanka, Thailand, Indonesia, and Saudi Arabia are also poised for significant growth, driven by substantial investment in their tourism sectors. This momentum is leading to a rise in international arrivals, increased tourism-related business activity and greater global visibility. Sports and technology Equally, high-growth segments like sports tourism, projected to hit $1.7 trillion by 2032, and ecotourism which is growing at 14% CAGR, are redefining travel priorities. The global travel technology market, worth $10.5 billion in 2024, is set to nearly double by 2033, as 91% of industry tech leaders anticipate aggressive investment increases. To support this boom, the industry will need to expand significantly—requiring an estimated 7 million new hotel rooms, 15 million additional flights annually and investment in infrastructure capable of supporting 30 billion trips globally. Risks and opportunities However, the report also flags significant risks. Travel and tourism currently accounts for 8% of global greenhouse gas emissions, a figure that without intervention could rise to 15% by 2034. Waste generated by tourists is expected to reach 205 million tons annually, equivalent to 7% of the world's solid waste. At the same time, workforce shortages are escalating. The UK alone saw 53% turnover in 2022–2023, while the US hospitality industry continues to lag in hiring despite 16%-above-inflation wage increases. Without decisive, coordinated action, the sector could face up to $6 trillion in lost revenue by 2030 from future disruptions, missing its potential to become a true driver of resilience, inclusion and regeneration. Børge Brende, President and CEO of the World Economic Forum, said: 'As global travel accelerates, we are standing at a pivotal crossroads. The sector's potential to drive inclusive prosperity, cultural understanding and environmental regeneration is immense—but realizing this opportunity will require more than incremental change. 'It calls for a bold reimagining of the systems that underpin travel and tourism, anchored in multistakeholder collaboration. From aligning on sustainable fuel standards to empowering local communities in tourism planning, the time has come to redesign the rules to create a sector that works better for people and the planet. This report offers a blueprint to guide that transformation and unlock tourism's full promise in a rapidly evolving world.' His Excellency Ahmed Al-Khateeb, Minister of Tourism for the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, said: "This report cements a global truth: tourism is not just a siloed, standalone industry—it is an engine for economic growth, cultural understanding, and international cooperation that influences all aspects of the world's experience-driven economy. As the sector expands, the global community must lead with purpose—reimagining tourism to be more sustainable, inclusive, and resilient. 'In Saudi Arabia, we're investing in regenerative destinations, future-ready infrastructure, and talent development—not only to welcome 150 million visitors by 2030, but to help shape and support the future of global tourism. The story being written about tourism of the future is one of transformation, and we invite the world to be part of it.' Bob Willen, Managing Partner and Chairman at Kearney, added: 'Tourism is a powerful driver of jobs, culture and economic growth around the world. As the industry grows to meet the needs of billions more travellers, it also needs to evolve. That means using technology responsibly, supporting workers and small businesses, protecting the planet, and making sure local communities truly benefit. 'The principles in our report lay out a practical path forward from investing in greener infrastructure and building a more inclusive workforce, to preserving cultural heritage and planning for future crises. It's about creating a travel and tourism sector that's not just bigger, but works in everyone's interests.'
