The seventh edition of WebSummit starts today in Lisbon and runs until Friday, this year with more than 70.000 participants, 2.630 'startups' and companies, 1.120 investors and 1.040 speakers.
The executive president of the Web Summit, Paddy Cosgrave, recently told Lusa that this year there are “many things”, from “the scale”, to the “sale [of tickets that sold out earlier than ever] three weeks ago".
In this year's edition, the issue of cybersecurity will be up for debate, as it continues to be "a big problem".
Not just from the point of view of individual security, the passwords of each individual and laptops and devices, “but also cybersecurity” at the country level.
In terms of Angolan 'startup' present at the event, the country will be present with the startups Narisrec, cleantech provider of electronic waste management and marketing services, arotec and Kula Kids, all with the Unitel seal.
BUT: Learn everything to expect at the 2022 edition of the Web Summit
Regarding the expectations for this edition, Cosgrave said that it will be “by far the busiest ever", noting that the space for exhibitors has grown "60%", as it increased "drastically” the outdoor space.
He recalled that other events in the world ended, following the pandemic, but that the Web Summit is back busier than ever.
The Web Summit is an annual technology conference, held in Lisbon since 2016 and is considered one of the largest and most important technology events in the world.
