Providing Interpretation and Translation for Major Global Startup Events in Korea

XL8, a company specializing in AI-powered simultaneous interpretation and translation, announced on September 11 that it has provided its real-time AI interpretation solution 'EventCAT' for the startup festival 'Try Everything 2026'.


Try Everything is a large-scale event designed to provide global growth opportunities for startups. From September 9 to September 10, a wide range of domestic and international investors, startup support organizations, startups, and representatives from medium-sized and large corporations participated in the event.

XL8 supported EventCAT for a total of over 40 sessions held simultaneously across three spaces at Dongdaemun Design Plaza (DDP) – Art Halls 1 and 2, and the Conference Hall. The company’s proprietary technology enabled an average interpretation latency of less than two seconds. In addition, by pre-incorporating startup sector company names and technical terminology prior to the event, XL8 enhanced the accuracy of on-site interpretation.


XL8 has continuously supplied EventCAT to 'NextRise' for four consecutive years, and, following its service to 'COMEUP' in December last year and now to this year’s Try Everything, it has completed the provision of AI interpretation and translation solutions for Korea’s three largest global startup events.



Jung Younghoon, CEO of XL8, stated, "I believe that language should not be a barrier to participation when entrepreneurs and investors from around the world gather to explore new possibilities," adding, "We will continue to foster an environment where people can understand shared information and interact with each other regardless of language."
