Why Attend
A CTO or CIO gets the most from Web Summit by treating it as a scouting trip. About 2,500 startups and 1,000 investors were expected in 2025, and the 2026 programme puts Chinese AI and robotics companies such as MiniMax, Manus AI, Unitree and Galbot on stage beside Cloudflare and Replit. The AI, Developer, Cybersecurity and Policy summits let a technology leader compare vendors, hear the debate over AI-generated code and follow where regulators are heading. AI is one track of 17, so plan on a wide survey of the market and book deep technical evaluation elsewhere.
