Who are we?
Vasco is born out of a straightforward yet powerful idea: to make people who speak different languages understand each other.
What's our story?
Vasco was founded in 2008 by Maciej Góralski, a businessman and paramedic, who felt that there is a need for high-quality electronic translators. He created a company that would make such a product, becoming one of the leaders in the translating solutions market.
We wish that all people speaking different languages would be able to understand each other. Every day, we're fulfilling that wish by taking language barriers out of our clients' ways. Thanks to Vasco Translator, our customers can forget about language-related challenges and focus on their holidays, work and studies abroad.
At the beginning, Vasco was a small group of people who wanted to promote electronic translation devices. Now, we're an international company consisting of almost 200 individuals from 20 countries and 4 continents. We specialize in Natural Language Processing (NLP), UX design, Software Development and Software Maintenance.
In addition to individual customers, we're supporting various organisations, both public and private. We provide translators for the production lines, hotels, schools, hospitals and restaurants.

Meet our Founder and CEO
Maciej Góralski - Founder and CEO of Vasco Electronics
He was inspired to set up Vasco company because of his personal experiences of language learning and travel. He graduated from the University of Economics in Kraków, the Warsaw School of Management, and the Teacher Training College of Foreign Languages at Jagiellonian University. He also studied in the UK at ARU Cambridge and the Medical College, where he earned a title in medical rescue.
Outside of work, he is passionate about emergency medicine, mountain biking, horseback riding, and both camping and leisure travel. He volunteers at the "Lekarze Nadziei” (“Doctors of Hope") clinic in Krakow and serves as a paramedic. His dedication to emergency medicine also led him to initiate and establish the PMM Emergency Team in collaboration with the Polish Medical Mission. The team's mission is to provide rapid medical response in areas affected by natural disasters or humanitarian crises worldwide. The PMM Emergency Team is currently undergoing WHO accreditation.
He has been awarded many times for his commitment and innovations. He is a finalist of the EY Entrepreneur of the Year competition, and a laureate of the prestigious Indifference Award granted by the Oświęcim Institute for Human Rights. In addition to that, he was also a finalist in the ranking of the Most Creative People in Business organized by the BRIEF.PL magazine.
Get to know us
We could spend hours talking about what drives use to work and makes Vasco more than a group of co-workers. However, we strongly believe that a picture is worth thousands of words... and so it is in this case as well.
