Lisbon is a city to be savoured.

Strolling through its streets is an experience that intertwines history and modern life in perfect balance. The aroma of coffee and freshly baked pastéis de nata mingles with the metallic rattle of trams, and amid the city’s lively rhythm, there is a sense of anticipation, as if something remarkable is about to unfold.

Lisbon inspires you to look forward while staying rooted. That’s why it’s the right setting for the Web Summit.

November in Lisbon belongs to both fado and technology. From November 10th to 13th, the city hosts Web Summit Lisbon 2025, where innovation becomes reality, ideas become projects, and plans become partnerships.

This year, Mobbeel is part of the story.

What is Web Summit Lisbon 2025?

Web Summit Lisbon 2025 is the leading event for technology innovators.

Over four days, more than 70,000 participants from more than 160 countries will gather at Feira Internacional de Lisboa, turning it into a city within the city.

At Web Summit, founders, CEOs, investors, journalists, and visionaries from all backgrounds come together. Even a simple conversation in the hallway can lead to a partnership that lasts.

Web Summit is more than a mirror of today’s technology. It sets the trends for the year ahead. In Lisbon, it’s the perfect place for debate, inspiration, and making new connections.

What to expect from the 2025 edition

Every year, Web Summit offers an immersive experience that puts learning and real connections at its heart.

In 2025, the event will feature more than twenty tracks. Among the most anticipated are:

• AI Summit, focused on how artificial intelligence is reshaping industries while posing new ethical and social challenges.
• Marketing & Media Summit, exploring the relationship between creativity, data, and authenticity in a world overloaded with messages.
• Health Summit, where new innovations to improve healthcare will be unveiled.
• Crypto & Fintech, a space to understand how new payment systems and decentralisation are transforming the global economy.
• Government Summit, presenting technological advances with an impact on public administration and civic life.

The event will also bring together an impressive line-up of speakers, including technology leaders, thinkers, athletes, creators, and institutional representatives. In previous years, figures such as Elon Musk, Margrethe Vestager, Stephen Hawking, and Reed Hastings have taken to the stage.

For 2025, the standard of excellence remains as high as ever, with speakers including Toto Wolff (CEO of Mercedes-AMG Petronas F1), Alex Schultz (CEO of Meta), and Cristiano Amon (President and CEO of Qualcomm Incorporated).

Opportunities at Web Summit Lisbon

Web Summit is not just an event to listen to, it is a space where things happen. Start-ups meet investors, developers discover new tools, executives build relationships, and brands strengthen their reputations.

One highlight is PITCH, a start-up competition where top projects present to expert judges and investors.

There are also spaces like the Spain Pavilion, networking areas, mentoring sessions, and meet-ups that turn ideas into real opportunities.

For Mobbeel, taking part means far more than simply gaining visibility. It is an opportunity to share our vision for the future of digital identity, to showcase our verification solutions, and to explore emerging trends across the industries we collaborate with.

Digital identity as the new language of trust

Among the many topics that will take centre stage at Web Summit, one of the most strategic will undoubtedly be digital identity.

Proving who you are has become an essential part of technological progress, but it is also a matter that shapes everyday life, influencing how people interact, work, travel, shop, and access digital services.

The European Commission supports this vision with its European Digital Identity Wallet project. This is a move toward a future where citizens can identify themselves and share data securely, with full control. The goal is to create a digital world where identity empowers users rather than leaves them vulnerable.

Within this landscape, Mobbeel contributes through its expertise in identity verification, helping companies and public bodies deliver secure and transparent digital processes. Our technology aims to simplify the complex: to protect without hindering, to verify without intruding, and to make trust a natural part of every digital experience.

Projects with real impact worth sharing

Real innovation is measured by how it affects people’s lives. Our team goes beyond talking about digital identity. We build it through projects that improve important processes, boost security, and make interactions between citizens and institutions easier and more efficient.

One of the most notable examples is the GISS project, where our video identification system enables citizens to complete procedures with the Social Security Administration without visiting an office in person.

Another key collaboration is within the EES (Entry/Exit System), the European border management system that modernises how entries and exits are recorded across the Schengen area. It represents a major step forward in security and interoperability, where biometric verification plays a crucial role in managing the movement of millions of travellers.

In the academic field, the University of Murcia stands as an example of how biometrics can be successfully applied in education. Through a video identification process, the university has implemented a system that allows students to complete online enrolment, among other use cases.

These projects show that technology matters most when it brings real value. This is the approach Mobbeel will bring to Web Summit Lisbon 2025, highlighting how innovation can make a real, positive difference in society, not just in the news.

Towards a more human digital identity

The debate on digital identity goes beyond technology. It involves values, rights, and responsibilities. The challenge today is not only to verify identities, but to protect them.

Technology companies that embrace ethical, transparent, and human-centred models are the ones shaping the near future. Mobbeel’s solutions are not designed to replace human identity, but to strengthen it, bringing coherence and security to a world that evolves at an unprecedented pace.

Web Summit Lisbon 2025 is a great place to share this vision and continue a global conversation. The real focus is not just on technology, but on building trust between companies and their users.
