The Signal

Web Summit is the annual technology conference held in Lisbon since 2016, after starting in Dublin in 2009. It brings together founders, investors, policy figures and international media across dozens of stages and a large startup exhibition floor. Health technology appears through dedicated health and biotech tracks, digital health startups on the exhibition floor and investor programming. For healthtech operators it is less a clinical conference than a capital, distribution and visibility event.

What to expect

Early stage healthtech startups pitching on the exhibition floor
Investor conversations around European digital health funding
Policy and regulation panels on AI and data
Consumer health and wearable product launches
Media accreditation and press announcements

Who is in the room

Founders, venture and growth investors, large technology companies, policy figures and several thousand accredited media.

Background

Web Summit began in Dublin in 2009 and moved to Lisbon in 2016, where it has run annually at the Altice Arena and adjacent halls. It has grown into one of the largest technology events in Europe and has since added sister events in Rio, Doha and Vancouver.
