New report from DeepL dives into the state of enterprise AI adoption worldwide and the game-changing potential of Language AI for global businesses

NEW YORK, Feb. 13, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — DeepL, a leading global Language AI company, today unveiled its latest white paper, “The language revolution: how AI improves the way businesses communicate.” Based on findings from a new DeepL survey of EMEA and US business leaders, as well as external sources, the report explores the intersection of language and AI in business, covering critical topics ranging from global corporate AI adoption trends, to the financial impact of poor communication on international businesses, and the real-world impact and value of Language AI tools.

“English has become the go-to language for international business, but the reality is that only about 20% of the world’s population speaks it fluently,” said Jarek Kutylowski, CEO and Founder, DeepL. “This has a significant impact on global businesses and professionals – over half of C-level leaders spend more than an hour each day dealing with ineffective communication, a challenge that also extends to other management and leadership levels. To address this, what we’re seeing through our research is that businesses are increasingly turning to AI solutions – 72% are planning to integrate AI into daily operations, with 25% targeting specific tasks such as translation in 2025.”

Report highlights include:

Businesses are budgeting for AI integration: In 2025, businesses will be looking more closely into how AI is bringing ROI-positive value to their organization. Across every region, top AI budgeting allocations include business operations (28%), workplace tools (19%) and specialized tasks such as translation (25%). The Netherlands shows the highest AI spending commitment, with 30% of businesses in the nation planning to integrate AI into all operations, closely followed by Germany (29%), Belgium (28%), France (26%) and the United States (25%).Communication barriers are a significant issue facing global companies: As businesses expand globally and scale into new markets, language barriers are emerging as a key challenge. Market expansion (35%), engaging customers across borders (32%), and customer service (24%) are cited as the top language obstacles faced in their business while navigating this global landscape. In particular, expanding into new markets is a significant challenge for European companies operating in geographies with multiple official languages or export-driven economies – including Belgium (45%), Germany (41%), and the UK (44%) – followed by the US (37%), which represents the world’s second-largest export economy. Of the markets surveyed, France (42%), the US (38%) and Belgium (38%) also reported the most significant challenges while serving customers from other markets; emphasizing the importance of robust multilingual capabilities in those regions.Specialized AI tools like DeepL are combatting top business communication challenges: Language AI is unlocking significant growth and efficiency for global businesses, enabling them to harness language as a strategic asset to better tap into the power of communication and collaboration both internally and externally – all while driving deeper connections and expanding global reach. Businesses are merging Language AI solutions with human expertise and oversight to solve their urgent communication issues and minimize the challenges associated with cross-cultural communication – particularly in highly regulated industries with high-stakes communications, like legal and manufacturing. This includes utilizing Language AI alongside external translation agencies (32%) and supporting in-house translation teams with AI (31%), to embedding AI into key products (26%).Internal communication is a growing priority in European markets: Internal language barriers are leaving global companies struggling to effectively and efficiently move business forward. In particular, The Netherlands (31%) and France (25%) report the highest pressure to support communication between teams speaking different languages, highlighting how linguistic diversity impacts both customer engagement and workplace collaboration. DeepL’s findings are aligned with a 2024 Forbes study that found half of all knowledge workers say they are hampered by communication challenges.

“In order to communicate with people from other countries, naturally, we have to use English, and it’s always urgent. It used to take staff up to half a day to translate a document created in Japanese into English. Now that we are using DeepL, we can do this task very fast,” said Shoji Otsubo, Senior Manager, Panasonic Connect.

Since its inception in 2017, DeepL has become the go-to Language AI provider for businesses around the world, offering cutting-edge translation and writing solutions that are a critical investment for international business growth, addressing communication challenges across various domains. DeepL’s rapid growth and demand worldwide are also reflected by its rapidly-expanding customer network, which now includes over 100,000+ businesses, governments and other organizations worldwide including 50% of the Fortune 500.

Sovol Introduces M1D, Combining Multi-Color, Multi-Material Printing and Dual-Extruder Productivity in an Open-Source Platform

Published

on

By

SHENZHEN, China, July 24, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Sovol, a pioneer in community-driven 3D printing technology, today announced the global launch of its brand-new flagship M1D 3D printer, featuring a build volume of 300x300x350mm and the innovative DualX System. As a groundbreaking 7-color multi-material FDM platform, the DualX system disrupts desktop manufacturing by seamlessly combining the batch-production efficiency of Independent Dual Extruders (IDEX) with the multi-material versatility of an advanced Tool Changer system.

A Paradigm Shift: Unifying IDEX & Tool Changer Benefits

Conventional single-nozzle multi-color systems (AMS) plague users with excessive filament waste, long retract cycles, and heaps of purged plastic. The M1D overcomes this through its DualX system, which serves as the ultimate breakthrough to terminate such heavy multi-color waste and achieve hyper-efficient, eco-friendly printing.

With an exclusive mechanical locking mechanism, DualX enables ultra-fast toolhead swaps in under 5 seconds across 7 distinct color options with zero redundant movements. This eliminates the sluggish overhead that has traditionally limited consumers and professionals from adopting multi-color production.

Unlike bulky alternative setups, DualX utilizes ultra-lightweight printheads that minimize inertia during high-speed printing to ensure micro-level repeatability. Each toolhead is equipped with an entirely independent heating, cooling, and sealed filament pathway. Idle heads remain thermally stabilized for instant deployment, slashing material waste by over 90% and completely eliminating the need for bulky purge towers. By eradicating kilograms of discarded plastic, Sovol moves desktop digital fabrication closer to a sustainable, low-carbon future.

Transforming Desktops into Eco-Friendly Micro-Factories

Engineered for professional creators, small businesses, and 3D print farm operators, the 300x300x350mm generous build capacity of the M1D leverages its unique architecture to unlock dedicated Duplication and Mirror Modes. Users can print two identical or symmetrical objects simultaneously, effectively doubling throughput without requiring extra workspace or purchasing double the machinery. This massive productivity leap offers an uncompromised return on investment (ROI) for micro-manufacturers.

Addressing a historical industry pain point, the M1D features an advanced fully-automatic calibration system. Precision electronic sensors automatically align the X, Y, and Z axes of the toolheads before printing, guaranteeing flawless multi-color interfaces without manual alignment. Furthermore, to handle high-temperature filaments, each toolhead is equipped with a rugged all-metal extruder assembly and a hardened steel nozzle, ensuring uncompromising extrusion stability and reliable feeding when running challenging high-temperature materials.

“With M1D, our goal was to rethink what desktop manufacturing can achieve,” said Season Guo, the CEO of Sovol. “By combining multi-color printing, multi-material capability, doubled production efficiency, and our commitment to open-source innovation, we believe M1D represents the next step toward making professional manufacturing more accessible to everyone.”

Availability and Open-Source Heritage

The Sovol M1D will formally open for pre-orders with detailed pricing and structural specifications on July 28 , 2026. True to its open-source roots, Sovol will open-source the Klipper-based firmware configurations and provide comprehensive documentation, empowering global makers to customize, upgrade, and push the boundaries of multi-color technology.
