According to the news agency Bloomberg, the Cologne-based AI translation platform DeepL is considering going public in the USA. Bloomberg has learned from informed sources that talks are currently underway with advisors.

According to the report, an IPO is possible as early as next year. According to the report, DeepL could aim for a valuation of up to five billion dollars in the event of a listing, although the final valuation would of course depend on investor demand and market conditions.

According to the informants, both the timing and the exact stock exchange could still change. DeepL itself declined to comment.
