The algorithm has rhythm

Join us as we kick off another exciting edition of Web Summit Rio.

Opening remarks: Welcome to Web Summit Rio 2026!

One of Rio’s very own, Luana Lopes Lara represents a new generation of Brazilian founders making their mark far beyond home. In this fireside chat, she reflects on her journey from Brazil to co-founding one of the most closely watched companies in modern finance, her role in Kalshi’s stellar growth, and where the company goes next as prediction markets shape a new future.

In dialogue with Luana Lopes Lara: Trade the future

AI can now clone your face, replicate your voice, and put words in your mouth – and in Brazil, it's already happening at scale. Actor, director, and activist Lázaro Ramos sits down with journalist Natuza Nery to ask the question that Hollywood, Silicon Valley, and now Brazilian courts are all scrambling to answer: who owns your face?

With Lázaro Ramos: Who owns my face

Get ready to witness a showcase of tomorrow's industry leaders, as innovative startups pitch their disruptive ideas and cutting-edge technologies. You'll get a fast-paced, high-energy session packed with groundbreaking concepts, all designed to capture your attention and potential investment.

Breakout startups

Opening remarks

Join Replit President & Head of AI, Michele Catasta, as he shares how Replit, now valued at $9 billion, is giving every person on the planet the power to build anything they can imagine – making us all builders, creators, and architects of what comes next.

Vibe coding for the next billion

If your content looks like an ad, your audience has already scrolled past it. Juliette, Rodrigo Moran and Fábio Porchat discuss the death of the curated grid and why the most successful creators are trading studio lights for the raw power of authentic and unpolished storytelling.

The polished feed is dead

Brazil's most ambitious companies aren't waiting for the AI revolution – they're already inside it. Milena Leal, country manager of Google Cloud Brazil, and Graciela Kumruian, CEO of Netshoes, get into what actually happens when global tech leader meets local ambition: the decisions, the bets, and the results that don't make it into the press release.

The next leap: From hype to results

The rules of journalism are being rewritten in real time: AI floods the internet with synthetic content, legacy publishers cut deals with tech giants, and trust in media hits historic lows. Leading voices from across the media landscape converge to debate who controls the narrative, who's paying for it, and what AI is doing to the newsroom.

Who owns the truth?

Claro and Nvidia have spent 2026 assembling the pieces – cloud, connectivity, and compute – into a sovereign AI stack built on Brazilian terms. Rodrigo Duclos and Marcio Aguiar map the architecture. Then they hand the mic to the winners of Claro's Campus Mobile program – the generation that will build on top of it.

Empower tomorrow's builders with the AI stack

Clara did not copy and paste a Silicon Valley model into Latin America. It built for a region where finance teams still face fragmented systems, manual processes, and deep operational complexity. In this conversation, co-founder and CEO Gerry Giacomán Colyer and Michael Gilroy who led the startup's series B unpack what it takes to build fast, scale across borders, and turn regional friction into a company-defining advantage.

Built for LatAm: Inside the rise of a fintech heavyweight

Born in China, unstoppable across Asia, live commerce is arriving fast in Latin America, and it's one of the most powerful selling machines ever built inside a phone. Three of the women defining this new category in Brazil sit down to celebrate the opportunity, challenge the algorithm, and ask what happens when shopping becomes indistinguishable from scrolling.

Lights, camera, checkout

For decades, saving the Amazon meant waiting on slow government budgets and federal enforcement. But Brazil has been awarding 40-year concessions to private companies. In this session, Peter breaks down this massive shift from public conservation to a concession model. Answering the question, can private markets and tech-speed execution protect the biome faster than the government?

Can capitalism save the Amazon?

Take a seat – literally – on Center Stage at Web Summit Rio. Panda Boi, with over 80 million subscribers to his channels, is bringing his Royal Chair live to the audience, picking strangers, guessing careers, and reading people in 120 seconds flat.

Gen Z and the Royal Chair

O setor de serviços financeiros está se consolidando como um dos principais campos de teste para a adoção de IA corporativa, visto que enfrenta enorme pressão para acelerar operações, personalizar experiências, modernizar processos e, ao mesmo tempo, atuar em ambientes altamente regulados. Parceiros IBM e Banco do Brasil compartilham como vêm repensando o significado de IA responsável para o futuro dos serviços financeiros na América Latina.

Governando a nova era da IA

While Latin America has proven it can build massive regional champions, the next frontier is whether these companies can dominate on the global stage. This session provides a high-look at how top-tier firms manage the risk-return profile of cross-border expansion and what it takes for a LatAm founder to justify a Silicon Valley-sized cheque.

Can LatAm conquer the world?

OpenAI's technology is reshaping how Latin America works, learns, and creates. But who decides how it develops, who it serves, and what rules govern it? Ronaldo Lemos - the legal architect of Brazil's Marco Civil da Internet and one of the world's sharpest voices on digital rights - sits down with Bruno Lewicki, OpenAI's Head of Public Policy for Latin America, for a conversation that doesn't stay easy.

Can we open AI?

The open-source revolution promised to democratize artificial intelligence. But who decides what "open" means – and on whose terms? The creator of ClickHouse, one of the most widely adopted open-source data engines in the world, sits down with the general manager of CENIA, creators of LatAm GPT, to untangle the contradiction.

AI for All, AI for Each

L'Oréal didn't crack Brazil by selling product, it did it by speaking the language - humor, community, and creators who actually mean something to their audience. Marcelo Zimet, president of L'Oréal Group Brazil, joins actress Deborah Secco and creator Ricardo Cubba to break down how 22 brands built relevance in one of the world's most culturally specific markets and what that blueprint means for beauty globally.

Beauty, redefined

The story used to go one way: Brazilian founders pitch, foreign capital decides. Kaszek's Santiago Fossatti and Norte Ventures' Gustavo Macedo Ahrends are dismantling that story - in a conversation about what changes when the conviction and the capital are homegrown.

Spotting Brazil's AI moment

We are living through a massive paradigm shift. As AI rewrites the playbook for global tech, a new generation is taking the wheel. This session explores how gen Z's influence is redefining everything we know about consumer behaviour. From the rise of AI-native creator economies to the venture capital shaping tomorrow's markets, we look at what it takes to build the next generation of category-defining companies globally.

The new alpha: AI, networks, capital and gen Z

Vibra's network reaches further into Brazil than almost any other company – every highway, every town, every gas station. Infrastructure at that scale is usually invisible. It doesn't have to be. Vibra CEO Ernesto Pousada sits down with Instituto Liberta president Luciana Temer on what happens when you point that scale at something that matters.

The unexpected frontline

The world's most innovative companies don't just export playbooks – they rewrite them for every market. Amazon Brazil CMO Camila Nunes and Heineken VP of marketing Cecília Bottai Mondino explore how strategic storytelling has become inseparable from the innovation agenda and why authentic narratives rooted in local impact are what actually drive growth and brand trust in a country as vast and diverse as Brazil.

Global engine, local soul

The hospital is moving home. The data center is moving to orbit. Two bold founders take to the stage in Rio to make the case that the most consequential infrastructure bets of the next decade won't be built where infrastructure has always been built.

The future has no address

Brazil didn't just build Pix – it built the blueprint. With world-class payment infrastructure, growing stablecoin adoption, and AI-native fintech, Brazil has become the world's laboratory for the future of money. Jeeves CEO Dileep Thazhmon and QI Tech CEO Emilio Moreira on what's next – and why the world is watching.

Future of money, built in Brazil

Unlock the power of Agentic AI with NVIDIA. Dive into the capabilities of Nemotron, the engine behind the world’s most advanced autonomous systems. Learn how NVIDIA is bridging the gap between raw data and intelligent action to power the next wave of global innovation.

Powering the next wave of AI agents

When Washington wielded tariffs as a weapon and demanded loyalty from its southern neighbors, Brazil didn't blink. It hosted the BRICS summit anyway. Glenn Greenwald, a US journalist who moved south two decades ago, and Vijay Prashad, one of the Global South's most incisive political minds, dissect what's really at stake: a world realigning itself, and a region that is done apologizing for it.

New world, new rules

From autonomous AI agents reshaping how Brazilian companies operate, to a skilling program that has already reached more than six million people, Microsoft Brazil general manager Priscyla Laham makes the case that Brazil is no longer waiting for the future to arrive – it's building the infrastructure the future runs on.

R$14.7 billion in - and counting

She's the most decorated Brazilian Olympic athlete in history. But Rebeca Andrade's story was never just about gymnastics – it’s about what you build when the world keeps telling you the ceiling is lower than you think. Rebeca sits down with the renowned anthropologist and bestselling author Michel Alcoforado for a conversation that goes beyond the medals, and what comes next. This session is brought to you by Itaú Unibanco.

Money, dream, supreme: Raise the bar with Rebeca Andrade

Live from the ground, Denílson, 2002 World Cup champion, brings the raw, inside view of football’s biggest stage, while Renato Ribeiro, Executive Director of Sports at Globo reveals how the spectacle is crafted for millions watching around the world. From pitch to broadcast, this is where the World Cup comes to life.

10 group round winners take to Center Stage for the semi-final of PITCH brought to you by Finep, FNDCT and MCTI, our startup competition.

Each of the semi-finalists has three minutes to pitch their businesses. Our judges then choose three finalists to battle it out in the PITCH final.

Semi-finalists will be revealed following the group stages of the competition, taking place on day 1 of the event.


PITCH semi-final

The era of valuation milestones and fundraising headlines is giving way to a quieter, more demanding phase – one that requires patient capital, deep tech, and a longer view. Google Brazil president Fábio Coelho and Monashees founding partner Eric Acher have spent decades at the center of that shift. They move past the hype to ask what it actually takes to cultivate a tech community built to last.

Building in the deep

Europe is strengthening its tech competitiveness at home while also looking outward to build a more competitive tech landscape. In this fireside chat, EU executive vice president for tech sovereignty, security and democracy Henna Virkkunen explores how Europe believes that global cooperation among trusted partners is an essential complement to investments made at home. Discover this new approach to digital sovereignty, and why the companies ignoring it will be left behind.

The new tech sovereignty: Building strength at home and global partnerships

Every company has an operations layer - the meetings, the workflows, the decisions that keep everything moving. AI is about to make most of it invisible. Read AI founder David Shim and Pipefy founder Alessio Alionço are building from opposite ends of the same problem - and together they explore what it means to run a company when the operational layer runs itself.

The disappearing back office

Belonging and judgment-free listening. Communities built on active listening don’t just connect people; they help guide decisions. In an environment where trust is mediated by people rather than institutions, community stops being about audience and amplification and becomes infrastructure. When placed at the center of conversations, it brings brands closer to reality, makes products more relevant and services more intelligent.

Ask community, by OpenAI

Our three finalists battle it out to see who will be crowned winner of the greatest pitch competition in the world. Brought to you by Finep, FNDCT and MCTI.

PITCH final

Nature is the backbone of business, and it’s under threat. While tech races ahead, Indigenous leaders already protect 80% of global biodiversity. Join Felipe Villela, Director of Latam at The Earthshot Prize, Professor Carlos Nobre, globally renowned Earth System scientist and Nobel Peace Prize laureate and Sonia Guajajara, Minister of Indigenous Peoples of Brazil, to discover why the most effective "operating system" for economic and planetary survival is ancestral.

The biodiversity crisis is a business crisis

Millions of Brazilians now have access to financial services. But is a bank account the same as financial inclusion? As more people travel, invest, and transact across borders, a new gap is opening: access to the global economy. This session explores how technology can close it, and whether Brazil is ready to bring global opportunity within reach.

Beyond the bank account

The winner of the greatest startup competition in the world takes to Center Stage to be crowned 2026 PITCH champion. Brought to you by Finep, FNDCT and MCTI.


PITCH winner announcement

Arm spent decades behind the scenes – powering the devices and platforms of the biggest names in tech. Today, that’s changed. As AI reshapes computing and Arm launched its first chip of its own, Arm is increasingly driving the conversation itself, with more than 350 billion Arm-based chips shipped worldwide. Chief commercial officer Will Abbey explains why in the age of AI, owning the blueprint is no longer enough.

The chip that ate the world

Just one year from now, Brazil will host the FIFA Women's World Cup for the first time. It won't be just a tournament. It's a turning point. Join former captain of the Brazil national team Aline Pellegrino – now driving FIFA's Women's World Cup legacy – alongside the executives, Gal Barradas & Thiago Januzzi, shaping the tournament's commercial and operational future. The women's game is done waiting.
