Web Summit 2017: How the EU supports high-tech SMEs

This year’s Web Summit takes place from 6 to 9 November in Lisbon. Once again, it will bring together attendees from over 160 countries for what has become the world’s largest tech conference. European entrepreneurship will be on display, including innovative companies that have expanded across borders with the support of the Enterprise Europe Network.

Meet us at the Web Summit

The Network will be present at the #InvestEU stand throughout the Summit. Come meet our companies, talk to our advisers and see how #EENCanHelp. Eight Network advisers will be available to talk you through our services and see how they fit your company's needs.

You can also join our workshop "Engaging Europe to grow your business" at 10:00 on 8 November to hear from successful Network clients.
