ELECT - why?• Enormous opportunities for European
industries• Assumptions
– Traditional industries converge in the digital world– eContent can be made easily available and can be
easily accessed– Urgency to remove linguistic and cultural barriers
• Players– European eContent providers– Localisation service providers
• Challenge– Connecting industries with very different cultures– Understanding of requirements and opportunities
