Web Summit and the year-round Lisbon tech conversation

Web Summit is the single most visible moment in the Lisbon communications calendar, but treating it as an isolated event is a strategic mistake. The international tech press that descends on Lisbon every November has been watching the city’s ecosystem throughout the year, and the conversations that matter during the event are almost always rooted in relationships built in the preceding months.
Our work around Web Summit is built on three principles:

  • The preparation window is three to four months, not three weeks. Pre-event briefings, exclusives and on-record executive profiles are secured well before the event itself.
  • On-site execution is senior-led. Journalist meetings, panel moderations, interview placements and real-time reactive coverage during the event week are handled by consultants who know the press personally.
  • Post-event follow-through is where most ROI is captured. The two to four weeks after Web Summit are when announcements made during the event convert into sustained coverage, analyst conversations and commercial leads.

Beyond Web Summit, the Lisbon tech conversation runs year-round through Building Global Innovators, Beta-i, Startup Lisboa, the Unicorn Factory network and the international tech press desks that now cover the city regularly. Our programmes engage this ecosystem continuously, not just seasonally.

Meet the Team

How our Lisbon team actually works

A few practical points that clients consistently find useful to know before briefing us.

Web Summit readiness is planned, not improvised.

Clients engaging us on tech programmes from mid-year onwards receive a structured Web Summit plan integrated into their wider strategy.

We are selective about scope.

Lisbon has a finite number of senior consultants on our team; we deliberately do not overextend the portfolio in the city, which is why we decline engagements that do not fit our sector focus.

Native Portuguese, operational English

Day-to-day work is conducted in Portuguese with national press and institutions, and in English with international press, HQ teams and transatlantic clients. Both are handled natively by senior consultants.

Senior involvement is not rotated.

The senior consultant who designs your programme is the one who runs it, attends events with you and manages the relationship.

Coordination with Madrid is real, not nominal

Lisbon and Madrid offices share client leads, account systems and operational protocols. Iberian clients work with a single team, not two coordinated suppliers.

We want to launch at Web Summit. When should we engage an agency?
Ideally in June or July for a November Web Summit, and in any case no later than early September. The international press that matters during Web Summit receives hundreds of requests and books most of their substantive meetings weeks in advance. Engagements that start in October typically result in attendance rather than coverage. If your budget forces a late start, we usually recommend treating Web Summit as a presence-building moment and targeting substantive announcements for the post-event window, which is under-exploited and more navigable.
Not necessarily. For investor-facing and international-tech campaigns, English-language coverage in European and US tier-one tech and business media is often the priority, and Portuguese media can be secondary or reactive rather than primary. We design the balance around your actual audience — not around the default assumption that “Lisbon means Portuguese-language PR”.
Yes, and this is a growing share of our Lisbon work. Brazilian companies using Lisbon as a European base operate with specific dynamics: narrative differences between Brazilian Portuguese and European Portuguese, distinct regulatory and cultural codes, and the need to build credibility simultaneously in Portuguese and international business media. Our senior team handles these transitions natively and regularly advises Brazilian clients on how to position themselves without importing framings that do not travel well.
Through established relationships built over two decades, executed with the understanding that institutional engagement in Portugal requires continuity, discretion and substance rather than high-profile campaigning. Our work in this space includes regulatory-story management, executive positioning on policy narratives, preparation for public consultations and day-to-day relationships with the communications teams of the main institutions. We do not do lobbying; we do institutional communications.
That depends on your sector, audience and regulatory context, and it is a genuinely useful question to work through before committing. Madrid offers proximity to the IBEX 35, larger-scale financial and regulatory infrastructure, and deeper traditional-industry depth. Lisbon offers a more agile tech and startup ecosystem, English-language operational ease, time-zone advantages for transatlantic operations and access to the Lusophone world. For clients considering both, we are happy to provide an objective comparison based on your specific situation.
