Web Summit · Lisbon

The annual Web Summit took place in Lisbon, Portugal on November 4–7, 2019. Over 70,000 participants from more than 160 countries and regions — including 1,800 startups, 1,500 investors and 2,000 journalists — spent three days showcasing the latest Internet technology R&D and applications across every field, and debating its future together.

Portuguese Prime Minister António Costa, former UK Prime Minister Tony Blair and other dignitaries attended, alongside executives from Microsoft, Google, Amazon, Huawei, Lenovo and other leading companies, who delivered keynote speeches. Across more than 20 sub-forums, some 1,200 speakers addressed topics including artificial intelligence, data protection, the digital economy, autonomous driving and climate change.
