Web Summit 2025: Key Takeaways from Lisbon
Lisbon once again played host to Web Summit last week, bringing together a vibrant mix of founders, investors, journalists, and policymakers. While AI dominance was expected, the different flavours of it showed where the industry is heading in 2026 and beyond.
This year, the conference hosted over 70,000 attendees and speakers, including five-time Grand Slam singles champion Maria Sharapova, Anton Osika (CEO of Europe’s fastest-growing AI startup Lovable), and TikTok sensation Khaby Lame.
Furthermore, the Night Summit effectively complemented the day conference, facilitating continued networking opportunities in Lisbon’s numerous authentic bars and cafés.
