As an Alpha Startup to Lisbon for WebSummit

The innFactory team was in Lisbon last week at the world’s largest technology trade show. Over three days, startups in all growth and funding phases presented their ideas through booths and pitches. The best pitch won a prize of 50,000 EUR, provided by Mercedes Benz. We also had a booth as a startup on Tuesday for our chatbot croGo.

Besides the many startups, most of the big established players like Amazon Web Services, Facebook, Google, Uber, Slack, Microsoft, BMW, Mercedes Benz, and many more from all kinds of industries were also represented at WebSummit. They also presented themselves with booths.

Additionally, the trade show was accompanied by numerous talks from over 1200 international top speakers. Thematically, the talks covered all conceivable topics relevant to startups. From very technical training on cloud computing and modern progressive web apps with React and React-Native, to the future of methods like lean startup, to futuristic announcements like Uber’s flying taxis - everything was represented at the trade show.

Since thousands of investors from all countries were at the trade show, we as a young startup also had the chance for a one-on-one conversation with a top investor and were thus able to further sharpen our personal profile and improve through mentoring.

The trade show was thus able to support us in many things, and we plan to participate again in 2018.
