"Web Summit is undoubtedly a milestone in Revolut's history. It was essential to join 10 years ago, when we were a tiny startup that nobody had heard about, so it was a logical decision then, and it remains so now. It's definitely one of those dates highlighted in our calendars, in all the geographies that you guys also have. We are very proud to be here."

"What’s struck me most at Web Summit isn’t the tech, it’s the people. Founders being open about failure. Leaders admitting fear, journalists asking hard questions with empathy. Every conversation reminds me that innovation isn’t just about algorithms; it’s about courage, connection, and care. Because men and women, together, can build incredible technology."
