What do you get with the Web Summit startup programme?
- Brand awareness: The world's leading media publications and journalists will join Web Summit 2024 looking for the next big news story. They’ll help you share your startup’s message with the world – and the world’s leading businesses.
- Funding: Investor Meetings are pre-scheduled sessions between the world’s most influential investors and the startups that excite them. This is where you’ll get insider advice on making your startup irresistible to investors.
- Networking: Networking opportunities are woven through every Web Summit experience. Start networking weeks before the event with the Web Summit app – reach out to investors, sign up for Mentor Hours, and find potential leads.
- Learning: Schedule meetings with founders who’ve overcome all the odds and trendsetting companies in your industry. And follow up on these leads after the event. You never know who may become your new business partner, investor or mentor.

What is Web Summit?
We’re a company from Dublin, Ireland, that holds events across the world: Web Summit in Lisbon and Tokyo, Collision in Toronto, and RISE in Kuala Lumpur.
Forbes has said we run “the best technology conference on the planet”;
The Atlantic that Web Summit is “where the future goes to be born”;
The New York Times that we assemble “a grand conclave of the tech industry’s high priests.”
At a time of great uncertainty for many industries and indeed, the world itself, we gather the founders and CEOs of technology companies, fast-growing startups, policymakers and heads of state to ask a simple question: Where to next?
