Everything we do is designed around the needs and priorities of language service companies and the prosperity and growth of the industry.
By connecting with stakeholders worldwide and listening to language service companies, our goal is to be the industry body that supports your business every step of the way. ELIA creates an environment of open dialogue for all, where members connect, exchange and form partnerships with companies that have a business focus on Europe, acquire and develop skills, and for the representation of the sector to the EU and other bodies.
