European LT business is dominated by thousands of SMEs and a few large players. Many are world-class, with technologies that outperform those of the global players.
However, European LT business is also fragmented – by nation states, languages and sectors. This is why the European Language Technology landscape and community has not been able to reach its full potential yet. We will address this challenge by establishing the ELG as the primary platform for Language Technology in Europe.
The Grid
A scalable cloud platform
The ELG will develop and deploy a scalable cloud platform, providing, in an easy-to-integrate way, access to hundreds of commercial and non-commercial Language Technologies for all European languages, including running tools and services as well as data sets and resources.
Consortium
Meet our partners
The project is rooted in the experience of a consortium with partners involved in all relevant initiatives.
Open calls
Pilot projects wanted
Through open calls, up to 20 pilot projects will be financially supported to demonstrate the usefulness of the European Language Grid as a platform and also as a European project and initiative.
