The real fuel of innovations - great personalities. They are inspire us to move forward to transform the business of our clients with the power of web and software applications.


About Web Summit at first hand:

Maxim Tishchenko, CEO: «Web Summit is about openness in the dialogue among highly talented people. The future was created before our eyes: futuristic scientists set the vector for the development of technology for several years ahead. Three of the most discussed areas of innovation are travel insurance, sharing economy and chatbots (conversational like startups)».

Alexandra Tishchenko, COO: «Web Summit is about inspiration everywhere and in everything. It brought together all the latest technological innovations in one place. But there was another side: it would be better to do more than just talking about the representation of women in IT, the industry should also take active steps to invite female IT professionals to the stands».

Evgeniya Sitnikova, CPO: «Web Summit truly is a very valuable experience. It's not a perfect event and it's not for everybody, but if you set the right goals and expectations then you can really enjoy the people you meet there. I have met so many great startups in all stages from all over the world who have a great future, and who are all facing the same problems. This proves that we are living in a world where it's never been easier to start a company, but because of very high competition, it's never been harder to scale a company».

Thanks very much to the organizers for holding such the worldwide conference!
