Con 500 milioni di cittadini e 20 milioni di piccole e medie imprese, il mercato unico europeo implica un ricorso quotidiano alle lingue straniere per essere competitivi, cogliere nuove opportunità, instaurare rapporti, commercializzare prodotti e servizi. Circa due terzi degli scambi commerciali in Europa avviene tra imprese facenti parte dell’UE; il fatturato dell’industria linguistica europea ammontava a 8,4 miliardi di euro nel 2008 e, con un aumento previsionale del 10% annuo, si stima raggiungerà tra i 16,5 ed i 20 miliardi di euro entro il 2015 con un consolidamento dei grandi player già presenti ma basse barriere d’ingresso per i nuovi competitor e una domanda crescente di servizi e lingue. L’industria linguistica ha quindi trovato nuova linfa, in un panorama in cui la mobilità e le relazioni internazionali sono diventate strutturali, acquisendo una valenza strategica ed economica per far fronte alle crescenti esigenze transazionali e relazionali oltre che allo sviluppo di progetti individuali e collettivi.
