Lusa - Business News - Portugal: Web Summit 2020 sets aside 50,000 student tickets - Cosgrave




Lisbon,Nov.27,2020(Lusa)-Paddy Cosgrave, co-founder and CEO of the Web Summit, told Lusa that the organisation had offered 50,000 tickets to students at universities and colleges in Portugal for this year.

Paddy Cosgrave was speaking to Lusa just under a week away from kicking off this year's Web Summit in Lisbon, which will be fully online due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

Asked how many participants he expects this year, Cosgrave said about 100,000.

"We have allocated 50,000 tickets - something that has not been widely publicised - to students at universities, colleges and institutes in Portugal," he added.

In the past, the most we had was about 4,000 tickets and even these participants (students) could not participate properly in the Web Summit, he said.

But now, with this year, for the first time, these students will be able to interact with everyone, he stressed.

Many of them are computer science students, he said, hoping that some will be inspired to start their own companies in Portugal and that others will find work in a great Portuguese startup.

This year - between 2 and 4 December - has over 2,500 startups, 1,250 investors, over 800 speakers, 150 countries and over 2,500 journalists.

Asked about the costs of this edition, Paddy Cosgrave said that it was just over €20 million, stressing that the real cost is the time and effort and the number of engineers internally and externally that took nine months to build the platform online.

In all, 250 people were involved, he said, adding that in recent weeks there has been filming in Portugal.

"Most of the filming was done in Portugal and the event will have a Portuguese flavour," he said.

Concerning the payment of €11 million (€8 million by the government and €3 million by the Lisbon city council) for a year that is online, Paddy Cosgrave said it was a political issue.

"I do not want to get involved. I think it is very important in a democracy for political parties to raise these issues at certain times," he said, alluding to the CDS-PP's questions to the government on the issue and the Left Bloc (BE) councillor to the Lisbon city council on the payment of the contract.

On the impact of the issue is completely online on Web Summit revenues, he said the data would be published in 12 months.

"In 12 months you will see that we are down, about 30 million", "I think there was a risk that the Web Summit" would not happen, that is what happened with the industry events across Europe, it has been absolutely devastating, he said.

"Obviously, this is the worst year in our history and it would have been easier to cancel the event," he said, stressing, however, that the right thing to do for the brand and the long term, the 10-year relationship was to try and do the summit, even if it was really very difficult.

He added that no major event has been held online because it is very complicated and expensive to do so.

This year, there will be more Portuguese executive presidents as speakers of all time, and more startups and Portuguese participants.

Asked what he would highlight, Paddy Cosgrave, who is a tennis lover, highlighted the participation of tennis player Serena Williams, who is considered the best in the history of the sport.

And then there is the presence of leaders of the largest technology companies in China, which is probably still the most important emerging market in the world.

Among the issues under discussion, besides the pandemic, Cosgrave highlighted the future of taxes, especially for companies.

OECD head Pascal Saint-Amans will talk about tax policy, as will the French finance minister, who will probably do so from Lisbon.

Another highlight is the election of Joe Biden as President of the United States, considering it important to understand what kind of change there will be or whether it is just rhetoric.

On the expectations for this year, Paddy Cosgrave was optimistic.

"We have already pre-scheduled more than a million meetings" and "I hope that the number of meetings that Portuguese companies have will be greater than ever," he said.

Next year, the Web Summit will have a hybrid version - online and physical.
