★★★★★

"Web Summit is undoubtedly a milestone in Revolut's history. It was essential to join 10 years ago, when we were a tiny startup that nobody had heard about, so it was a logical decision then, and it remains so now. It's definitely one of those dates highlighted in our calendars, in all the geographies that you guys also have. We are very proud to be here."

"It's always important for us to come to Web Summit to keep up with market trends and innovations in the events world. This year was even more special because, in partnership with Startup Portugal, we presented a competition for startups to help us create the Smart City of Rock and make our music festival even more connected, intelligent, and sustainable. And Web Summit is the perfect stage for this announcement, as it also unites innovation with entertainment."

"I've attended every edition of Web Summit Rio, so I can say I'm a huge fan of this event. In Lisbon, the whole world converges. And technology is advancing so fast that the Web Summit events throughout the year complement each other. My office is remote, so meeting people in person is still very important for my business."

"From flying cars, great panel discussions around where we will arrive in 2025, the pitch semis, new approaches to learning with AI, how to build a healthy and compelling company culture by simply paying attention to each individual employee, I meandered around the Alphas and Betas to understand where startups are going to."

"I already had high expectations, but they were exceeded; it's much more interesting than I imagined. Besides the excellent content presented on stage, I was very impressed with the solutions the startups are showcasing here. I'm a Business Acceleration Manager, so I'll be returning with tons of new tools and insights for all the teams. Another incredible experience was the app; it works perfectly and helped me connect easily with people and organize my schedule."

"What’s struck me most at Web Summit isn’t the tech, it’s the people. Founders being open about failure. Leaders admitting fear, journalists asking hard questions with empathy. Every conversation reminds me that innovation isn’t just about algorithms; it’s about courage, connection, and care. Because men and women, together, can build incredible technology."

"I brought part of my product team and we are very impressed with the immersion that Web Summit provides for the entire ecosystem. We came from Brazil, so it was a significant investment, but by the end of the first day we left certain that it was worthwhile, and that we will achieve all our goals. Next year I want to return with my entire team."

"This is my first time at Web Summit, and I've always wanted to come because I'm interested in the discussion of how to maintain the human connection behind everything that drives technology, the entire context, the entire culture. And I'm very happy to see that this topic is being discussed so much, and I'm opening my mind to so many new things that I'm surprised. I believe that the need for connection goes beyond platforms, so I'm happy to see how this is also resonating within this super high-tech community here at Web Summit."
