PERTE - New Language Economy

The PERTE of New Language Economy aims to promote the new digital economy based on natural language in Spain, taking advantage of the potential of Spanish and the co-official languages as a factor for economic growth and international competitiveness in areas such as artificial intelligence, translation, teaching, cultural production and dissemination, research, and science. To this end, it has a budget of 1,100 million euros in public investment, with the aim of mobilising a further 1,000 million euros in private investment. 

The first project will create comprehensive corpora for the new language economy. Five projects – with a total budget of 7.5 million euros - have been approved: 

• AINA Project (Barcelona).  

• VIVES Project (Alicante).  

• LEIA Project (Madrid).  

• NÒS Project (A Coruña).  

• GAITU Project (Vizcaya).  

In addition, other two initiatives are going to be financed: 

• The International Language Centre (Salamanca).  

• Intelligence Centre of the New Language Economy (La Rioja).
