The wealth of knowledge, resources, and networking opportunities provided by ELIA has empowered us to elevate our services to new heights. (...) The impact of ELIA on our agency's development cannot be overstated, and we look forward to continuing this fruitful partnership for years to come.
Besides being able to connect and find partners, we acquired an insight into best practices and, as a result, upgraded and improved our processes which yielded a 90% growth or our turnover in 2015. We have gained a lot by becoming an ELIA member.
Born from six European language service companies, today ELIA has 218 members from around the world.
