🚀 3 takeaways from Web Summit 2024 🚀 With our office in Lisbon, there was no way we could miss one of the world’s biggest conferences! Our team, Rebeka Kopkáš Uličná, 𝓩𝓭𝓮𝓷𝓴𝓪 Gillarová, and Andrea Matwikow, attended this year’s Web Summit to reconnect with our Lisbon team and gain insights beyond technology. 🙌 "What were the three main takeaways? 👀 Rebeka: “A masterclass on digital learning platforms for refugees made me rethink my animated CEO character—why is it always a white male? Where are the women, older generations, people of color, and those with disabilities? “Another key insight: design isn’t universal—what’s elegant in Europe might not translate in Japan.” Zdenka: “AI is transforming the way we work. From fostering a skills-first mindset that keeps businesses agile to freeing managers to focus on what truly matters - building strong teams and shaping culture - it’s clear that the future lies in blending technology with the human touch.” Andrea: "Accessibility, from culture to design, is more important than ever. I’m inspired to make our training and marketing materials more inclusive and relatable for everyone.” The key takeaway for us? Balancing innovation with a people-first, creative, and diverse approach is the future of work. 🚀 How are you embracing these values in your business? #WebSummit2024 #FutureOfWork #AIInnovation #TeamLearning #Lisbon

WebSummit wasn't just a tech conference—it was a reminder that at the heart of every innovation, every startup, and every breakthrough, there are people. Real people with real stories, all contributing to the tapestry of our industry's future. Let's be honest - conferences can be overwhelming, but there's something special about this one. Maybe it's because everybody's there to learn and share, or maybe it's just the energy of being around people who believe they can make a difference. I want to highlight some of the amazing people who made this experience unforgettable: • Hind Ziane - You brought light to Chad's political journey and hope to its people.

No matter your take on this year’s Web Summit, one thing’s clear: you couldn’t miss the impressive array of city and country stands vying for attention. Now at the close of Day 3—having logged again nearly 10 kilometers in the process—here’s my recap of the day’s highlights. In a global race to attract investment and innovation, national and local government organizations put their best foot forward, pitching to investors and startups alike. Each city and country aims to showcase why their location is the ultimate choice for expanding tech initiatives, emphasizing key advantages like tax incentives, thriving ecosystems, and access to skilled talent. This “geo-strategy” of investment is becoming more nuanced, as cities and countries each carve out specialized niches—some focusing on AI research, others on clean tech, and still others on fintech hubs—creating a complex and fascinating landscape of opportunity. This might give a lot to think about, but let me focus on this thought: as more enterprises go global, the race to attract investment, jobs, and talent locally becomes even more critical. It’s a monumental challenge, and I don’t envy the authorities trying to navigate it. As the day winds down, I can’t overlook the lineup of outstanding speakers. Several sessions were simply unmissable. Without singling anyone out (because I’d miss too many remarkable voices), the sheer number of packed stages across five pavilions shows just how eager participants are to engage with the latest insights and innovations. Stay tuned—there’s more to come tomorrow! #websummit #digitaltransformation
