Considered one of the largest and most important events in Europe, regarding the fields of entrepreneurship, technology, and innovation. The Web Summit 2016 edition took place in Lisbon and it was a success not just because of the presented ideas, but also due to the number of people who went to visit the Portuguese Capital to participate in the event.

During Web Summit 2016, companies and guests had the opportunity to receive some practical advises which can be immediately applied in the day to day work and thus gain time and money. The event was an excellent opportunity to help brands find new partnerships, share ideas, and contacts in order to develop further works.

“There is no longer such a thing as a ‘tech’ industry, just industries that have been affected by tech”. This edition counted with more than 53,000 technology industries’ CEOs, founders, startups, investors and political leaders, as well as 21 conferences, with the same goal: provide the most accurate information about the cutting-edge technology.
