The event has also broken its investor attendance record for the second consecutive year, welcoming 1,943 investors. The tickets to the 2026 edition of Web Summit, in Lisbon, sold out last week, closing at 70,003 following strong demand for exhibition space from partners. More than 10,000 startups will attend Web Summit, while the sold-out exhibition floor will feature 3,052 companies from 110 countries, alongside major partners from some of the world’s largest technology giants, Apple, Meta, Google, and Intel. Windows into the world Web Summit has always been a window into the future, and that future is being built in countries outside of the United States. Governments from Brazil, China, Qatar, Poland, Hungary, Lithuania, Slovenia, South Korea, and more are sending trade delegations to promote their domestic tech talent and expand global trade links. “Welcome to the most global Web Summit ever. We are joined by attendees from 164 countries, more than ever before”, said Web Summit founder and CEO Paddy Cosgrave at Opening Night. “Brazil, like every country in the global south, continues to grow its presence here and that growth is reflected in this Web Summit… more startups are coming from São Paulo than Paris.” “This year has, without a doubt, the most important lineup of technology speakers we ever had. And they are all from China. Because Chinese companies are building more of our shared Future than companies from anywhere else. And we should open our eyes to that future”, continued Web Summit founder and CEO Paddy Cosgrave. Web Summit 2026’s opening night featured dancing humanoid robots from Chinese company AgiBot and flying car technology from Xpeng AeroHT. Speaking on Web Summit’s host country, Web Summit CEO also highlighted the record number of Portuguese startups: “This year we have the largest number of Portuguese startups at Web Summit ever. This speaks to the amazing rise of Portugal over the last 10 years”, said Paddy Cosgrave. Despite a challenging fundraising environment for many early-stage companies in Europe, startups are showing up in force at Web Summit 2026. Portugal and Ireland are seeing record participation, with 350 Portuguese startups and 115 Irish startups, the highest number from Ireland since Web Summit moved to Lisbon. The Web Summit effect on Portugal The impact of hosting Web Summit in Lisbon goes well beyond the four days of the event. A new report by EY found that Web Summit has contributed nearly €2.5 billion to the Portuguese economy over the past decade, around €250 million a year. The report also highlighted the lasting benefits for Portuguese startups exhibiting at the event, which were more likely to grow their revenue and create jobs. Since Web Summit first came to Lisbon in 2016, the number of Portuguese startups has doubled, while their combined annual turnover has grown from €1.23 billion to €2.85 billion. Record number of investors The record investor turnout includes Accel, Bessemer Venture Partners, BlackRock, TPG, Union Square Ventures, Index Ventures, Amino Capital, Atomico, the Qatar Investment Authority and Tencent. New data from PitchBook highlights the global reach of investors attending Web Summit 2026. Investors attending Web Summit have participated in 60% of global VC deal value and 73% of US VC deal value in 2026, based on data through September 30. China shares glimpse into the future China’s growing influence in AI and robotics will be a major theme at Web Summit 2026, which brings together 960 speakers from around the world, including tech leaders from China, Europe and the US. The event will welcome its largest-ever Chinese delegation, with speakers including Unitree, one of China’s leading humanoid robotics companies, represented by co-founder Li Chen ; Tencent’s chief investment and strategy officer (EMEA) Ling Ge ; Xiaomi CM", "text_sha256": "c5bbc12af86a4867" } }, "https://websummit.com/blog/web-summit/important-event-update-2026/": { "url": "https://websummit.com/blog/web-summit/important-event-update-2026/", "title": "Important event update", "category": "web-summit", "date": "2026-11-10T19:09Z", "modified": "2026-11-10T20:06Z", "excerpt": "The Government of Portugal has formally advised Web Summit that, due to the risks posed by Storm Charles, including tidal flooding, severe disruption to public transport and the impact of high winds on external structures, Day 2 of Web Summit should not take place.

Web Summit will of course respect the Government’s direction, and accordingly, Day 2 (Wednesday, November 11th) will not take place. The safety and security of our attendees, staff and contractors is always our absolute priority. Web Summit aims to proceed with Day 3 (Thursday, November 12) as planned, following the passing of Storm Charles.
