At the Lisbon Investment Summit this year we have decided to do things differently. We wanted to get to the point and really showcase the most promising startups. But, for that to happen we couldn’t really rely on automated processes. Instead, we relied on our wide community of entrepreneurs, investors and executives for referrals, and we handpicked the best startups we came across.

The result? Really talented teams and interesting products to showcase to some of the best investors in the world who will be joining in Lisbon on June 6th and 7th. Here are the startups we have selected.
