Jadeed had the privilege of participating in Web Summit 2024, proudly representing Egypt on a global stage. We showcased our groundbreaking hydrogen smart cell technology in Lisbon, Portugal. As one of the world's most significant tech conferences, the event attracted over 70,000 attendees, including innovators, investors, and thought leaders from around the globe.
Beyond the business opportunities, this experience provided us with invaluable insights into the cultural and strategic approaches to the tech industry in both Egypt and Portugal, as well as an understanding of why Lisbon stands out as the perfect host city for such an event.
In Egypt, the tech industry thrives on resourcefulness and adaptability. Startups like Jadeed emerge from this dynamic environment, focused on scalable, impactful innovations that address pressing challenges such as energy access and climate resilience.
On the other hand, Portugal’s approach to the tech industry emphasizes long-term vision and global integration. The country has positioned itself as a hub for innovation by fostering a supportive ecosystem that prioritizes sustainability, collaboration, and cross-border exchange.
For Jadeed, navigating these cultural differences was a valuable learning experience. While we brought the energy and problem-solving mindset inherent to Egypt’s tech scene, we gained insights into Portugal’s methodical, strategic approach to building sustainable solutions. Combining these perspectives has strengthened our ability to operate on a global scale.
Participating in Web Summit in Lisbon provided Jadeed with benefits that extended far beyond showcasing our technology. It gave us the chance to forge global connections, engage with leaders from diverse industries, and expand our network by forming strategic partnerships. Moreover, experiencing Portugal’s measured, long-term focus inspired us to look beyond immediate challenges and explore how to embed sustainability and scalability into our solutions.
By showcasing Egyptian innovation on such a prestigious platform, we highlighted Egypt’s growing tech ecosystem and demonstrated our region’s contributions to global innovation. This was a crucial step in our mission to make hydrogen solutions a mainstream energy option, bringing us closer to creating a sustainable, cleaner future for all.
