Swedish startup raises €600,000 backed by Nordic media company Aller Media Nordic to expand its platform that helps authors reach readers in new languages

STOCKHOLM, STOCKHOLM, SWEDEN, May 21, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Aniara, the innovative publishing technology company that helps authors expand their readership across language barriers, has secured nearly €600,000 in new funding to accelerate its author-centric global book translation platform. The investment round was led by Nordic media powerhouse Aller Media Nordic, a company founded on publishing innovation more than a century ago, creating a powerful alliance between publishing heritage and cutting-edge technology.

Founded with authors at its core, Aniara uses advanced language technology to translate books into multiple languages while preserving each author's unique voice and style. The company's revolutionary approach reduces translation time from months to just days, allowing authors to simultaneously launch their works across multiple languages and markets – an opportunity previously available only to bestselling authors at major publishing houses.

"Authors are our center of gravity," said Rickard Lundberg, CEO and Founder of Aniara. "This new funding, especially with Aller Media Nordic as our strategic investor, allows us to expand our services to more writers and into more languages. Aller Media brings over a century of publishing expertise and a deep understanding of connecting content with audiences. Together, we'll be creating a new pathway for authors to reach global readers they couldn't access before, while earning higher royalties than traditional publishing offers."

The partnership with Aller Media Nordic is particularly significant for authors. The family-owned media group has a rich history of publishing innovation across the Nordic region and understands both the creative and business sides of bringing authors' works to market.

"At Aller Media, we've been connecting authors with readers since 1873, when we disrupted the publishing industry with new printing technologies that democratized access to content," said Michael Aller, CEO of Aller A/S. "Today, we see Aniara creating a similar revolution for authors, breaking down the language barriers that have confined talented authors to single markets. We're investing in this vision because we believe every compelling story deserves the chance to find its readers, regardless of what language they speak."

The company operates on a revenue-sharing model to the authors that is significantly higher than traditional publishing royalties – while handling all translation, production, and distribution costs. Aniara's service produces books in multiple formats, including e-books, audiobooks, and print-on-demand, distributing them across major global retailers and platforms.

Authors currently using Aniara's services have seen their works successfully published in markets they previously couldn't access due to language barriers, cost concerns, or lack of international publishing connections.

"For too long, the publishing industry has limited authors to single-language markets unless they achieve exceptional sales," Lundberg continued. "We're changing that fundamental barrier. If you've published several books and built a readership in your home market, you deserve the opportunity to reach readers worldwide. Our technology makes that possible without requiring authors to navigate complex foreign rights deals or pay substantial upfront translation costs."

The investment will primarily support expanding Aniara's Author capacity and developing technology to scale production processes, directly benefiting both current and future author partners. With operations already spanning 14 markets in 8 languages, Aniara has distributed over 128 titles internationally and has 50+ contracted authors with another 50+ on a waiting list.

Aniara's selection process currently focuses on authors with 5-6+ previously published books, as this helps their language technology better learn and preserve the author's unique style and voice. The company also selects authors with demonstrated sales potential and those willing to engage in marketing their translated works.

"This is an author-first technology," added Lundberg. "While we're using cutting-edge natural language processing technologies, our success is measured by how well we preserve what makes each author special – their unique voice, narrative style, and creative vision – while opening doors to millions of new potential readers worldwide."

New Release: 3rd ‘Evidence Capacity Pulse Report’

Today the Data Foundation released the May 2025 Evidence Capacity Pulse Report.Data Foundation Releases Third ‘Evidence Capacity Pulse Report’ Monitoring Ongoing Changes to Federal Data Infrastructure WASHINGTON, DC, UNITED STATES, June 1, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- The Data Foundation today released its third "Evidence Capacity Pulse Report" documenting substantial changes affecting America's data and evaluation infrastructure. The report, compiled in part through the Data Foundation's SAFE-Track (Secure Anonymous Federal Evidence, Data and Analysis Tracking) portal, identified several critical developments since our March and April reports affecting government and industry capacity for data collection, analysis, and evaluation activities."Statistical agencies — the backbone of our federal data infrastructure — have experienced approximately 10% staffing transitions since January,” said Sara Stefanik, Director of the Data Foundation’s Center for Evidence Capacity. “Understanding these changes helps stakeholders assess how official statistics production may evolve in the coming months." The May 2025 report identifies several new and continued trends: 1. Agency restructuring moving forward: Implementation of agency reduction in force (RIF) and Reorganization Plans are ongoing at some agencies, with more prepared for likely release in coming weeks. 2. Leadership transition ongoing in key data positions: Key federal data and Evidence Act roles remain unfilled or occupied by acting officials across multiple agencies. 3. Data systems undergoing operational changes, with some disruptions: Agencies programs and reporting processes for data infrastructure are experiencing partial or full suspension of operations, potentially impacting industries, financial markets, and public safety. 4. Modernization efforts continue: Enhanced oversight processes, organizational streamlining, and open data expansion with 3,200+ new datasets on data.gov reflect ongoing changes in government operations and transparency initiatives. 5. Enhanced contract approval processes affect project timelines: Federal contracting is experiencing longer time periods for reviews due to reduced capacity, changes in management of approvals, and reorganization or restructuring decisions. For example, at the Department of Commerce, which currently requires Secretary-level approval for large contracts, resulting in over 3,000 contracts affected. 6. Private sector workforce reductions continue: Large federal contracting and data management companies issued layoff notices for thousands of employees in April and May under WARN Act requirements, with impacts particularly concentrated among firms providing data, technology, and evaluation services in the Washington region. With the publication of new agency reorganization plans and the forthcoming FY 2026 President’s Budget, the Data Foundation anticipates greater insights about developments on the administration’s approach. The Data Foundation will consider these plans in future analysis, while continuing to document operational changes occurring across federal departments and agencies. The Data Foundation will continue to work with stakeholders across the political spectrum to advance open data and evidence-informed decision-making as part of our commitment to radical collaboration. We invite organizations and individuals to contribute to this ongoing analysis through our SAFE-Track platform, which provides secure and anonymous reporting of evidence ecosystem impacts.

UE dąży do większej samodzielności w dostępie do surowców krytycznych. Częściowo pozyska je z recyklingu baterii

Zgodnie z aktem o surowcach krytycznych władze unijne dążą do zwiększenia niezależności w zakresie ich dostaw od Chin i innych krajów  trzecich. Do 2030 roku ze źródeł zewnętrznych ma pochodzić nie więcej niż 65 proc. rocznego zużycia każdego z surowców. Z kolei 25 proc. ma pochodzić z recyklingu. – Te cele nie są nadambitne, bo recykling to relatywnie młoda część gospodarki, więc legislacja, która narzuca te poziomy odzysku i recyklingu to jedno, a realia to drugie – mówi Paweł Jarski, prezes zarządu Elemental Holding. Podkreśla jednak, że Europa ma duży potencjał w zwiększeniu odzysku i przetwarzania cennych surowców

Poziom kompetencji cyfrowych Polaków na bardzo niskim poziomie. Spowalnia to cyfryzację gospodarki i firm

Na tle mieszkańców innych państw UE poziom kompetencji cyfrowych Polaków utrzymuje się na bardzo niskim poziomie – wynika z ostatnich danych Eurostat. Niecała połowa deklaruje posiadanie przynajmniej podstawowych umiejętności cyfrowych, a 20 proc. – więcej niż podstawowe. Staje to na drodze do cyfryzacji gospodarki i zwiększenia produktywności przedsiębiorstw.
