Web Summit is a popular and rapidly growing tech conference meant for the European ecosystem. This year, the conference was hosted in Lisbon for the third consecutive time from November 6 to November 8. Unlike the previous years, the Web Summit 2018 saw more Dutch startups than ever. And, over 70 companies showcased their latest innovations at the conference.

Holland was an event partner of Web Summit 2018, and the Holland Corner was a meeting place for deal-making, networking and gathering information about the Dutch business ecosystem. Even StartupDelta, Netherlands Enterprise Agency and the Dutch Embassy Lisbon were at the Web Summit’s Holland Corner.

Holland Corner offered NL networking opportunities, VIP meetups hosted by Prince Constantijn van Oranje, StartupDelta Special Envoy; Ian Wilson, (Heineken); Alexander Griekspoor (Award-winning Mac and iOS app Agenda), Karina Kuperus (KPMG), Sandra Petschar (Philips), Dave Dirks (EVO Venture Partners) and Tanja Kufner (MHP and dynamics.vc).

Now, without further ado, let’s take a look at the six major announcements from Dutch startups at the Web Summit 2018.
