Scaling European innovation with LLMs

The LLM Booster for Regional Innovation and Digital Growth in Europe project (LLM-BRIDGE) supports European startups and scaleups in the fast-growing domain of Large Language Models (LLMs).

The LLM-BRIDGE project aims to strengthen national GenAI ecosystems by equipping startups, scaleups, incubators and investors with the support needed to build and deploy LLM-driven products.

The project brings together a consortium of partners from ten European countries, coordinated by the Alliance for Language Technologies (ALT-EDIC). The partners’ complementary skill sets in supporting startups and AI-driven innovation are bolstered by their technical expertise in GenAI and LLMs. This capability helps participating startups and scaleups to integrate LLMs responsibly and at scale. Together, the consortium will deliver three dedicated support programmes focused on LLMs.
