While it is a hugely influential event based in Lisbon, the event provides a lens onto the whole world and access to important global networks. With our Mission Web Summit, we bring a group of Brazilian delegates to the Summit itself and also use it as an opportunity to introduce them to several high-profile international firms, such as Farfetch and EDP in Portugal to show them how business is done here. In 2019, we brought 200 Brazilian participants, and in 2021 80 participants. A severely reduced number due to COVID but a very engaged group. Our mission represents the largest group from any one organisation or country and is run in partnership with the Federation of Portuguese Chambers of Commerce in Brazil and No Gap Ventures. 2021’s return to Web Summit saw over 40,000 people attend and it was great to finally be in a physical space but confident in the robust safety protocols they had in place. As always, the event provides an ocean of opportunity to put a flag in the ground and startmaking connections. We have ambitious plans for 2022, which is going to be even better.
