The Prime minister of Cabo Verde, Ulisses Correia e Silva, admitted this Thursday the possibility of the archipelago hosting a Web Summit event, after meeting with Paddy Cosgrave in Rio de Janeiro.
“I met with Paddy Cosgrave, co-founder of Web Summit, during Web Summit Rio. Paddy is a friend from Cape Verde and has visited our country before. We discussed the possibility of organizing a smaller-scale Web Summit on the island of Sal, taking advantage of its tourism and innovation potential”, announced Ulisses Correia e Silva, through a message on his official Facebook social network account.
“As Prime Minister, I have attended every edition of Web Summit and I believe that bringing this inspiring event to Cape Verde will help boost our entrepreneurial ecosystem and promote our nation on the global stage.
