We also adopted the framework of long-term visas for investors, entrepreneurs, innovators and professional talents. The UAE’s residency departments will start receiving applications. The UAE will remain a global incubator for talents and a permanent destination for pioneers.

This is so good. vcstarterkit.com

Very sad to hear that João Vasconcelos has passed away. As minister he was so passionate about startups and Portugal. He did a huge amount to promote Portuguese startups on the world stage. We will all miss him.

In 1999, many people questioned our idea to establish Dubai Internet City in the desert. Two years ago, Amazon acquired the multi-billion dirham Souq.com and today, Uber acquired Careem for Dh11 billion. These giant companies flourished from the "desert" of Dubai.

Congrats to the entire Careem team on their $3.1 billion exit to Uber. 5 years ago they had a little 1 metre booth at Web Summit. They were the first startup I think we ever had from UAE. Pretty amazing journey.

450 days remaining for Expo 2020 Dubai, with 190 countries leading the world towards a better future through their pavilions for the first time in the MEASA. We are ready and remain true to our promise of hosting the best Expo edition yet in its 168-year history.

Over €300 million is Government’s estimated economic impact of #WebSummit 17 to Portugal. More than half a billion since Nov 16 IMHO long term value is more important: global reputation, platform for PT companies, inspiration to younger generation 🇵🇹🙏 observador.pt/2017/11/18/gov…
