The event, which is to take place between November 4th and 7th, presents real time translation on the conference App from English to Portuguese as a novelty for this year the on the central stage.

The Web Summit has provided tickets at a reduced price for students who wish to attend the conferences under the Inspire programme since 2016 and has already received 120,000 applications.

In order to get the tickets, students have to apply on the Inspire website and choose the day they want to attend as soon as possible.

Founded in 2010 by Paddy Cosgrave and co-founders Daire Hickey and David Kelly, the Web Summit is one of the largest technology, innovation and entrepreneurship events in the world and has evolved in less than six years from a team of just three people to a company with over 150 employees.

The technology summit, which began in Ireland in 2010, will continue in Lisbon until 2028, after the conference decided to remain in Portugal for another 10 years in November last year, after a successful application from the city of Lisbon.
