Amsterdam, July 20, 2025
TAUS, the data-for-AI company and creator of EPIC, entered into a partnership with Library of Business to offer real-world data for AI training to its customer base of big-tech companies and AI Labs. Library of Business is an Amsterdam-based AI expert knowledge platform that curates industry-specific proprietary datasets to support AI companies in transforming generic AI into solutions that are ready for real-world business impact.
The partnership pairs TAUS brand authority in the data-for-MT marketplace, and its reputable NLP and human annotation services, with the industry network of Library of Business seasoned industry professionals. The first edition of the new TAUS Data Catalog contains dozens of unique datasets spanning the software, legal, finance, architecture, and media industries.
“Foundational Model Researchers and Product Owners are confirming that this is the exact type of ‘hard-to-find’ data needed to fine-tune advanced, industry specific, AI tasks,” says Zachary Haynes, responsible for AI Licensing Partnerships at TAUS.
“This new partnership positions us to respond to the rapidly evolving training data needs from our long-term customers”, says Jaap van der Meer, CEO and founder of TAUS. “TAUS was early in the market for data with the launch of its Data Marketplace for translation data in 2008. Since then we have been providing MT training data to most of the big tech and MT development companies around the world. Since last year we have seen a big change in the requirements for data towards more context-aware and multi-modal data. We are very pleased to be able to keep serving our long-term customers thanks to our partnership with Library of Business.”
“We’re seeing huge interest from AI companies for expert-level datasets”, says Jelle Sijm, CEO and Co-founder of Library of Business. ”The market has shifted—from a world where compute was scarce and data was plentiful, to the exact opposite. Most public data has already been scraped. What’s left—the truly valuable insights—is locked inside human minds. If we want AI models to scale to economically valuable work and reason like humans, they first need to be trained on data generated by domain experts. That’s exactly what we’re building with this partnership: a fast-growing catalog of proprietary, curated datasets and network of experts to give AI the grounding it needs to deliver real business impact.”
