We're a private nonprofit organization. We were born in 1972, with the aim of bringing together science and Euskera. We took the first steps as a cultural association, and in 2002 we became a foundation. Together with the foundation, the Elhuyar group also includes the companies Zubize SLU and Eleka Ingeniaritza linguistikoa SL.
While science and the Basque are still very important pillars, we are currently an organization that provides services for the application of advanced knowledge. We help businesses, social partners and administrations to find innovative solutions to meet the challenges of globalisation with a multidisciplinary approach. To remain a reference in the development of the Basque Country and Basque society, we work with professionals from science, artificial intelligence, lexicography, translation, linguistic management and social improvement.
Mission: to build, from the Basque Country, an active, critical and egalitarian society, making use of technology and knowledge and investing in the dissemination of science.
