EaseAccess24 attends Web Summit 2025 in Lisbon as an ALPHA Impact startup

We took EaseAccess24 to Lisbon for Web Summit 2025, one of the world's largest technology conferences, bringing together over 70,000 attendees from more than 160 countries across four days at the MEO Arena and Lisbon Exhibition & Congress Centre.

We attended as part of Web Summit's ALPHA startup programme, a track reserved for early-stage companies selected for their potential and uniqueness. The programme gave us an exhibition space for a day, access to investor meetings, startup showcases, and a floor full of founders, innovators, and decision-makers from across the global tech industry.

We were also recognised as an Impact Startup, a designation for companies working toward meaningful change in their industries and communities.

Our three-person team on the ground, CEO Patrick Tairi, Deputy CEO Filip Najdovski, and Marketing Specialist Leonardo Zmajshek, ran our booth, held meetings, pitched to investors and founders, and spent four days fully immersed in the conversations that are shaping the future of tech. The rest of our team worked hard behind the scenes to make sure the stage we presented was as polished as ever.

Web Summit was our first time on a stage this size. For Leo, it was about pushing limits:

"We were there to challenge ourselves and to challenge norms. 'Possible' now has a new definition in my mind."

At our booth, we did what we do best: talked accessibility, analysed websites on the spot, and exchanged ideas with people who had not necessarily thought about the problem before.

The energy and feedback we received reinforced something we already believe: this conversation needs to happen at every level of the tech industry, not just among specialists.
