On March 6th, 2025, the ALT-EDIC launched the formation of its Industrial Consortium. Representatives of enterprises and business support organisations with an interest in Language Technologies (LT) and established in the European Economic Area (EEA) are invited to join the initiative. They will contribute to the definition of the ALT-EDIC strategic priorities and elect representatives to the ALT-EDIC Strategic Orientation Committee (SOC). The Consortium will also provide a forum for elaborating new projects, especially projects relying on shared data and comparative evaluation that the ALT-EDIC may support.

Lithuania is represented in the ALT-EDIC consortium by the Ministry of Culture, a governmental institution responsible for formulating and implementing state cultural policies in the fields of professional and amateur arts, theatre, music, fine arts, cinema, museums, libraries, publishing, copyright and related rights, and the protection of cultural heritage and language.

In response to recent advances in generative AI, Lithuania is actively exploring the development of large language models (LLMs) and supporting the ecosystem for the Lithuanian language. The Ministry of Culture has initiated an information campaign to engage both public and private sector organisations in ALT-EDIC efforts. Several companies have already expressed their interest. Lithuania is also funding a number of projects through Recovery and Resilience Facility (Next Generation Lithuania), aimed at accumulating language resources for AI systems. It is anticipated that these projects will complement the goals of ALT-EDIC.
