Web Summit 2024 - Culture, Commerce, and Innovation

As we gear up for INNVEST 2024, the excitement around global tech events like Web Summit in Lisbon this November is palpable. With over 70,000 attendees and 3,000 startups, Web Summit is shaping up to be a groundbreaking gathering where culture, commerce, and technology intersect in new and exciting ways.

One of the standout sessions this year features none other than Pharrell Williams, the Grammy Award-winning musician, filmmaker, and philanthropist, joining Frank Cooper III, Chief Marketing Officer of Visa, for a conversation on the "Creator Economy." They'll explore how creators are shaping culture and commerce in the digital age—an area of growing importance for industries across the globe. Their discussion will delve into the pivotal role of technology in this evolution and how businesses and individuals can leverage this dynamic shift to drive growth

The Web Summit lineup is equally star-studded, with figures like Brad Smith, President of Microsoft, and Carmelo Anthony, NBA legend, joining other thought leaders to discuss the intersection of innovation and impact. Alongside them, we're also seeing Steve Knight, creator of Peaky Blinders, and music innovator Imogen Heap—a clear testament to the increasing overlap between technology, entertainment, and creativity.

What excites us most at INNVEST is the focus Web Summit places on innovation that drives meaningful change, with over 1,000 investors and companies like Adobe, Meta, Visa, SAP, and KPMG ready to shape the future. The spotlight on global issues like climate change, healthcare, and education demonstrates how technology is not just about the future—it’s about how we solve today's challenges.

For those of us in the business of connecting talent, investing in startups, and building innovative partnerships, Web Summit provides an unparalleled opportunity to network, collaborate, and gain insights from the most influential minds in technology and business.

The countdown to Web Summit has begun, and we at INNVEST are eager to explore how this global event, with its cutting-edge conversations and transformative ideas, can help shape the future of business and innovation.
