Are you looking for more exposure? 40 words gives startups at Web Summit the opportunity to broadcast their message across the event - all in just 40 words.


How does it work?

If you are interested in taking part, submit an application by sending us a self-recorded video giving your company elevator pitch. Our team will review all applications and select a shortlist of successful candidates.


Applications that exceed 40 words will not be considered - hence the name.


If your application is successful it will be played across our screens on stages at Web Summit and around the venue.
