Growing interest: The Web Summit's rapid growth brought it to Lisbon as the venue 'had simply run out of space' in Dublin, said Paddy Cosgrave, who is the Web Summit's chief executive and co-founder. — Reuters

LISBON: Europe's largest tech event, the Web Summit, will double in size when it is held for the first time in Lisbon in November to tackle everything from hot new startups to the race to make driverless cars, its chief executive said on Sept 21.

Portugal has pulled off a coup by bringing the Web Summit to Lisbon after it was launched and held every year in Dublin since 2010, when just 400 people attended the event.
