The last Web Summit to take place in Dublin for the foreseeable future has come to an end.
It was painted as a bittersweet moment, with Paddy Cosgrave stressing that the Irish capital will always be in their hearts. However, the Portuguese deputy prime minister also appeared on stage to speak about how Lisbon is more than ready to step up to the challenge.
