What Interprefy does

Interprefy AG is a Swiss-founded (November 2014, Zurich) enterprise multilingual communication platform that combines cloud-based Remote Simultaneous Interpretation (RSI), AI-powered speech translation, and AI-driven live captions and subtitles into a single managed offering. The core technology stack is a cloud-native platform accessible via web, mobile (iOS/Android), and native integrations with Microsoft Teams, Google Meet, Zoom, Cisco Webex, and 20+ event/webcasting platforms (ON24, Intrado, vFairs, Zuddl, SpotMe, Grip, Accelevents, IMAVOX, GEVME Live, 6Connex). The Interprefy Agent (September 2025) joins online meetings as a participant and delivers real-time audio translation and captions in 80+ languages with 6,000+ language combinations. The platform is supported by a vetted network of 6,000+ professional interpreters for conference-level human interpretation. Security and compliance posture includes ISO 27001 certification (since November 2021) and GDPR compliance.

The company serves four primary customer segments: Corporate & Enterprise (SAP, Google, Domino's, GSK, Roche), Institutions and Public Bodies (UEFA, FIA, FIBA, World Childhood Foundation), Event Organisers, and Platforms & Partners for white-label and reseller integrations. Named deployments span 102 UEFA EURO 2020 press conferences across 22 languages, FIFA/FIA at 60+ events, a Google summit using 13 languages and 102 interpreters, GSK's 5,000-attendee multilingual Vaccine Virtual Days, Domino's 9,000-attendee event, and UTS Nîmes stadium captions for 20,000+ fans in 2026.

Revenue is generated through a hybrid model: (i) custom quotations for one-off events with usage-based pricing (5-minute platform increments; hourly interpreter and professional services billing), tiered upfront payment milestones for contracts of $30K-$99K (25% upfront) and $100K+ (50% upfront), and short-notice RSI surcharges of 25-100%; and (ii) Interprefy Plans, 12-month modular subscriptions starting from 10 hours that bundle the platform with Professional Services, Professional Interpreter sourcing, and Media Services (recordings and transcripts), with non-auto-renewing terms and volume-based discounts. The company employs an enterprise field-sales motion, a Global Partnerships director, and a channel reseller network anchored by InterpreNet (US), Congress Rental Network, Korea MICE Association, and EMCI Consortium. Operating geographies span Europe, North America, APAC, and the Middle East, with offices in Zurich (HQ) and Chicago (US sales, opened July 2017). Leadership: Founder Kim Ludvigsen serves as Vice-Chairman of the Board; Oddmund Braaten has been CEO since January 2022.

• Boostlingo: Boostlingo offers remote simultaneous interpretation software and a marketplace of interpreters, directly competing with Interprefy's RSI platform and human interpreter sourcing model for language service providers and enterprise customers.

Broad incumbents

• LanguageLine Solutions: LanguageLine is the largest interpretation and translation services provider globally, offering phone, video, and on-site interpretation across hundreds of languages — a broad incumbent whose enterprise interpretation offerings overlap with Interprefy's human and AI services.
• TransPerfect: TransPerfect is a global language services and technology company with interpretation, translation, and localization offerings at enterprise scale — a broad incumbent whose interpretation practice and event services overlap with Interprefy.
• Lionbridge: Lionbridge is a large global language services provider offering interpretation, translation, and AI data services — a broad incumbent whose conference interpretation offerings compete for the same multinational enterprise customers as Interprefy.

• Microsoft: Microsoft Teams is the world's largest enterprise meeting platform and an Interprefy native integration partner — but Teams Premium's interpreter agent and Copilot translation features make Microsoft a dual partner-and-competitor with potential to commoditize Interprefy's core offering.
