Language has long been a barrier technology promised to break but never quite did. Now it's actually happening. From high-precision translation to real-time voice interpretation, language AI is progressing fast enough to enable use cases beyond office productivity: more inclusive access to information, genuine multilingual collaboration, democratic participation across languages. What does it take to build AI that works across spoken language, not just text? How do you preserve nuance, tone, and intent at scale? And when the barrier falls, who benefits the most and why? DeepL CEO and cofounder Jarek Kutylowski on the state of language AI, where it's heading, and what it means for organizations, institutions, and individuals.
This session opens with a 10-minute launch of the Global Startup Ecosystem Report 2026, where Stephan Kuester will present key insights from this year's report. While much of the AI conversation focuses on investment trends and frontier models, a different story is unfolding beneath the surface. Across the world, new ecosystems are producing high-potential AI companies through unique combinations of talent, industry depth, and commercialization pathways. This session explores where real AI innovation is emerging beyond the dominant hubs, bringing a ground-level perspective from founders and ecosystem leaders on how AI businesses are being built and scaled.
