Nimdzi Language Technology Atlas 2020

On June 10, 2020, we published our Nimdzi Language Technology Atlas, the comprehensive resource that maps hundreds of language technology solutions from all around the world.

In this year’s edition of the Nimdzi Language Technology Atlas, we collected data from providers of more than 700 technology solutions. Analyzed and categorized, this is the only language technology map you will need.
