Trilingual AI automation and AI agents for Strasbourg's cross-border and EU-facing teams. Give staff their hours back. Remote-first, project-based.
Strasbourg occupies a unique position in European affairs: the city hosts the European Parliament, the European Court of Human Rights, and the Council of Europe, making it one of only three cities in the world (alongside New York and Geneva) to host major international organizations without being a national capital. This institutional presence shapes the city's economy and character profoundly. The European Quarter employs thousands of officials, diplomats, and support staff, creating demand for international-standard professional services, multilingual capabilities, and EU-compliance expertise.
Beyond the European institutions, Strasbourg is the capital of the Grand Est region and an important center for Franco-German business. The city's position on the Rhine, directly across from the German city of Kehl, makes it the primary interface between French and German commercial cultures. Businesses in Strasbourg routinely serve both French and German-speaking markets, and bilingual capability is a baseline expectation rather than a premium service. The University of Strasbourg (which has produced four Nobel laureates) drives a significant research and biotech sector, while the Krutenau and Petite France districts support a lively retail, hospitality, and tourism economy.
EIGHTY8 is a Netherlands-based, remote-first AI automation and consultancy studio, and Strasbourg's cross-border, institution-facing character plays to how we build. We deliver multilingual AI agents and content workflows in French, German and English, covering the full range of the city's professional audiences, and GDPR-aware engineering is our default posture, which matters in a city that sits next door to Europe's regulatory institutions. For businesses trading across the Rhine we automate the bilingual routine work that cross-border commerce generates; for organisations serving the European institutions we build corporate websites that project the credibility those clients expect, with trilingual SEO covering google.fr and google.de. Delivery is remote from the Netherlands (same time zone, no office in Alsace and none implied) and each engagement is quoted per project.
Yes. Strasbourg businesses routinely serve French, German, and English-speaking audiences. We build fully trilingual websites with proper hreflang implementation, language-specific SEO, and culturally appropriate design for each market. Not just translated text.
Absolutely. Companies serving the European Parliament, Council of Europe, and ECHR need websites that project institutional credibility. We build professional corporate sites with EU-compliant data handling, accessibility standards, and multilingual content management.
Strasbourg's search market spans both French and German queries. We build dual-market SEO strategies with keyword research in both languages, targeting both google.fr and google.de. This cross-border approach captures the full Strasbourg metropolitan area including Kehl and the Ortenaukreis.
Given Strasbourg's role as a seat of European governance, GDPR compliance is not just legally required. It is a credibility signal. We build websites and automations with data protection by design: transparent cookie management, data minimisation, documented processing and privacy-first architecture. Coming from a GDPR home market, those habits are our default engineering posture rather than an add-on.
