Podcast appearances and mentions of Paddy Cosgrave

The multi-million euro legal battle between the Web Summit co-founders, Paddy Cosgrave, Daire Hickey and David Kelly, has been described as a bitter divorce, with no prospect of an amicable resolution. The clash between three of Ireland's most prominent tech high-flyers has begun, and the first shots in anger have been very acrimonious indeed. Allegations of blackmail, sexual harassment and even kompromat have emerged this week as the trio embarked on a nine-week trial in the High Court. With the Web Summit now valued at €200m-€300m, the stakes are huge for everyone involved. Host: Dave Hanratty. Guest: Mark Tighe See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Paddy Cosgrave, founder and CEO of Web Summit, joins me for a fast-paced conversation recorded live at Web Summit Qatar. We talk about how he scaled a 150-person event into one of the world's largest tech conferences, and why the same principles—imagination, naivety, and engineering serendipity—can be applied to anything you want to build. Paddy shares his thoughts on avoiding fear-driven decisions, why big ideas need a bit of “clinical insanity,” and how success often comes down to simply starting—even if you have no idea what you're doing.We also touch on tech hype, unsanitized founders, and why he won't let his kids near addictive apps. This episode is about thinking big, starting small, and taking action—no matter what you're building.Support for the show comes from XM, a leading trading platform.

Com uma delegação recorde de 400 startups, o Brasil dominou a participação internacional no Web Summit em Lisboa, que começou segunda-feira (11) e terminou nesta quinta-feira (14). No evento, o país mostrou sua força crescente no cenário tecnológico mundial. Luciana Quaresma, correspondente da RFI em PortugalO evento é considerado a principal conferência de tecnologia global e se tornou a vitrine perfeita para o potencial brasileiro e para atrair investimentos estrangeiros em seus setores tecnológicos em expansão. A Agência Brasileira de Promoção de Exportações e Investimentos (ApexBrasil) investiu R$ 11,5 milhões para viabilizar a presença das startups no evento, fomentando parcerias e impulsionando o crescimento das empresas do país.A expressiva participação brasileira reafirma a posição do país como um centro de inovação em ascensão. “A ApexBrasil, em parceria com o Sebrae, vem trabalhando para a inserção de novas startups no cenário internacional. Ampliamos o nosso espaço e além das palestras e encontros temos as empresas inovadoras. Aqui temos as empresas selecionadas pelo Web Summit num total de 80. As outras são empresas inovadoras”, explica Maria Paula Velloso, Gerente de Indústria e Serviços da ApexBrasil.Este ano marcou um crescimento exponencial em relação ao anterior, mas o impacto brasileiro transcende os números. A delegação se destacou pela notável diversidade, fruto de um esforço consciente para incluir empresas de diferentes regiões do país, rompendo com a concentração tradicional nos grandes centros urbanos. Parcerias estratégicas com a Central Única das Favelas (CUFA) permitiram a inclusão de empresas de favelas e lideradas por mulheres, além de um foco especial no ecossistema do Nordeste, garantindo uma representação mais ampla e abrangente do potencial inovador brasileiro. “A Apex olhou a questão da diversidade. A gente fez parceria com a CUFA para podermos trazer empresas oriundas da favela. Fizemos também com a Rede Mulher Empreendedora para trazer empresas lideradas por mulheres, também focamos no ecossistema norte-nordeste com a preocupação de trazer mais empresas de outras partes do Brasil que não fossem apenas sul-sudeste. Ampliamos a participação brasileira, mas com uma maior diversidade”, explica Maria Paula Velloso.Soluções inovadoras da AmazôniaA Wood Chat, startup 100% acriana, exemplifica essa diversidade. Sua inteligência artificial revolucionária soluciona problemas cruciais na Amazônia: a identificação de espécies e a falta de dados de imagens. A tecnologia brasileira agora alcança a Europa, auxiliando compradores de madeira a certificar a origem e a espécie das toras e peças, principalmente na Europa e nos Estados Unidos, os maiores importadores de madeira amazônica. A ferramenta desenvolvida pela empresa faz o reconhecimento de madeira em tora, ou seja, no corte da madeira transversal. "O DNA da madeira está justamente neste tipo de corte, então produzimos uma IA que fizesse esse reconhecimento e identifica o nome botânico, a origem da madeira e da família dela. Na nossa Floresta Amazônica temos entre 40 e 300 espécies por hectare, então imagina o tamanho da nossa diversidade", frisa Fernanda Onofre, criadora da Wood Chat."Resolvemos um problema da Amazônia que era a identificação de espécies e também os dados de imagens que não existiam. Com a nossa tecnologia conseguimos resolver estes dois problemas”, afirma. “Os maiores compradores da madeira da Amazônia são a Europa e os Estados Unidos, então quando esta madeira chega aqui na Europa, por exemplo, como cliente Wood Chat, ele consegue fazer o reconhecimento das toras e das peças de madeiras que podem chegar laminadas e se certificar de que aquela madeira é realmente o que comprou, reconhecida pelo Chat”, completa.Cleo Sousa, diretora da Escola de Negócios da Favela, que busca transformar a realidade socioeconômica das favelas por meio da educação e da promoção de negócios, destaca a presença de dez empreendedores de diferentes estados, selecionados em um evento voltado para o protagonismo de comunidades em situação de vulnerabilidade."Na hora que a gente conseguiu esta parceria através deste super apoio da ApexBrasil, com a CUFA e a Escola de Negócios da Favela, decidimos que teria que ser algo relacionado com tecnologia, algo que em algum momento já tenha tido destaque em seu estado, top 10 dentro da Expo Favela. Essa foi a base para a escolha das startups que estão aqui com a gente”, afirma Cleo. A diretora adianta que para 2025 a Escola de Negócios deverá trazer trinta startups para o Web Summit.Histórias de SucessoJanaína Cristina, de São Paulo, é fundadora da startup Seja do Mundo, cuja missão é democratizar o acesso ao mundo para todos os brasileiros. "Quando vi a Torre Eiffel brilhando, percebi que o mundo ia muito além de Guaianazes e então criei a Seja do Mundo", afirma a empreendedora. A startup faz consultoria de cidadanias portuguesa, italiana e espanhola. "Temos uma pegada diferente, pois levamos o assunto para as favelas do Brasil. Estar aqui hoje é um grande divisor de águas porque a gente está tendo a oportunidade de ter um contato direto com pessoas que podem fazer a diferença e nos ajudar a conquistar os nossos objetivos”, diz.Raphael Ribeiro, fundador da Sankofa Sustentabilidade, uma startup carioca de engenharia periférica e soluções ambientais, utiliza a tecnologia para promover mudanças sociais e econômicas sustentáveis. O nome Sankofa, explica, vem do idioma de Gana que significa voltar ao passado e ressignificar o presente para construir o futuro."Através do movimento da CUFA, Escola de Negócios, da Expo Favela, fui selecionado entre 400 pessoas e fui a única empresa de engenharia periférica local. A partir disso começaram a surgir outras oportunidades como essa, de hoje estar aqui na Web Summit. É um verdadeiro presente, pois eu nunca tinha saído do Brasil. É uma realização”, explica Ribeiro.Portugal é parceiro estratégicoA presença brasileira no Web Summit extrapolou a participação direta no evento.  Encontros com outras delegações e um “Dia da Inovação” com empresários portugueses enriqueceram a experiência.Startups brasileiras já estabelecidas em Portugal também estiveram presentes, reforçando a crescente relação entre os dois países no cenário de inovação. Empresários brasileiros que se estabeleceram em Portugal corroboraram a percepção do país como uma plataforma estratégica para o acesso ao mercado europeu, oferecendo um ambiente propício para investimentos e incentivos a startups.Eduardo Migliorelli, CEO da Atlantic Hub, reforça essa visão. “Temos aqui 70 empresários hoje e mais 400 startups que vieram para cá e estamos conectando. Eu fico até arrepiado de tanto orgulho de brasileiros ajudando brasileiros a criar um mindset global entre os empreendedores", destaca"Chega de ficar só pensando localmente e desenvolver negócios para crescer dentro do Brasil. O Brasil é incrível, tem uma economia brutal, mas a Europa e os EUA estão esperando estes bons negócios que o brasileiro tem de melhorar e mostrar para fora”, afirma Eduardo.Sua empresa já apoiou a internacionalização de centenas de empresas brasileiras e, neste ano, trouxe um número significativo de startups para o Web Summit, representando diversos setores. Segundo Eduardo, Portugal oferece um ambiente favorável para investimentos, especialmente para brasileiros, e se tornou um dos melhores pontos de partida para empresas brasileiras que desejam acessar mercados globais."Com estabilidade política, incentivos fiscais para startups, e um ecossistema de inovação em crescimento, o país é uma porta de entrada estratégica para o mercado europeu. Além disso, a conexão cultural e a facilidade de adaptação fazem de Portugal um destino atrativo para empreendedores brasileiros que buscam internacionalizar seus negócios”, afirma Migliorelli.Paddy Cosgrave, CEO do evento, destacou a importância dessa crescente participação brasileira, ressaltando a força e a inovação das startups do país no cenário global e o protagonismo feminino no comando das iniciativas. “A variedade e a qualidade das propostas apresentadas pela delegação brasileira reforçam a posição do país como um polo de inovação crescente na América Latina e no mundo”, disse.

A Web Summit, considerada a maior cimeira tecnológica da Europa, chegou ao fim nesta quinta-feira. Será que correu como esperado? A edição ficou marcada, não só pela ausência de grandes empresas tecnológicas, mas também pela ausência dos principais responsáveis da política portuguesa, como o primeiro-ministro, António Costa, e o Presidente da República, Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa. António Costa Silva, o ministro da Economia, considerou que a Web Summit 2023 foi “um enorme sucesso”, mas o seu discurso de encerramento da cimeira ficou marcado pela crise política ao deixar uma mensagem de confiança aos investidores. A análise é feita por Miguel Prado, um dos jornalistas do Expresso que acompanharam o eventoSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A oitava edição da Web Summit terminou esta quinta-feira, 17 de Novembro. Durante quatro dias, Lisboa recebeu mais de 70.000 participantes, 900 oradores e 2600 startups. "Esta edição superou as expectativas", afirma o responsável pela equipa de startup e investidores da Web Summit, Ricardo Lima. Ao longo de quatro dias contou com 321 parceiros expositores, 32 delegações de vários países, entre eles Cabo Verde. Passaram pelo evento mais de 70 mil pessoas de 153 países."Esta edição superou as expectativas tanto interna como externa. Vimos isso na forma como as pessoas estiveram nos palcos, que estiveram cheios, bem como as masterclasses. As minhas equipas estiveram em constantes reuniões com startups e investidores e foi mesmo muito positivo", descreve Ricardo Lima, responsável pela equipa de startup e investidores da Web Summit.Durante quatro dias foi possível conhecer a nova presidente executiva da Web Summit, Katherine Maher, que vai tentar trazer um novo olhar para o evento e para a empresa. "Este é um momento na vida da empresa em que podemos utilizar esta mudança como uma forma de nos reforçarmos naquilo que a Web Summit: um local onde queremos trazer as pessoas que estão a definir o futuro da tecnologia, desde startups a grandes empresas mundiais, a investidores, a jornalistas". A organização anunciou que o Web Summit Qatar faz parte da estratégia global da marca de aumentar o seu alcance a novos mercados. A expectativa é que o evento ofereça novas oportunidades para conectar o mundo da tecnologia em ecossistemas crescentes no Oriente Médio, no continente africano e na Índia.A questão ecológica esteve mais presente do que nunca, startups, multinacionais energéticas, instituições de poder internacional e português defendem que a única forma para apanhar o contra relógio das alterações climáticas é a cooperação. Essa cooperação pode ser mediada pela tecnologia para encontrar novas formas de energia a nível global, defende Ricardo Lima, acrescentando que "a tecnologia é um dos pontos que nos pode ajudar a resolver os grandes desafios que enfrentamos. Acima de tudo, somos nós que devemos encontrar essas soluções e, por isso, a tecnologia não é um fim, é um meio. Num evento como o Web Summit, onde trazemos pessoas de mais de 150 países para estas discussões, podem sair algumas soluções que podem permitir resolver estas questões. A nossa empresa tem tido a preocupação em trazer para a mesa pessoas que estão a ser as mais afectadas pelas alterações climáticas, pessoas do sul global".A guerra entre o Hamas e Israel também criou divisões nesta edição da Web Summit. As grandes empresas como a Amazon, Google ou mesmo Meta não estiveram presentes no evento, por causa de publicações do seu antigo dirigente, Paddy Cosgrave, sobre o conflito entre o Hamas e Israel. Os acontecimentos afectaram, de alguma forma, o evento anual de tecnologia, "houve mais ruído do que o impacto real, até porque o número de participantes até foi superior à edição do ano passado. As grandes tecnológicas não estiveram presentes, mas isso apresentou novas oportunidades para as startups porque as empresas lutam pela atenção destes participantes. A partir do momento em que não há grandes empresas tecnológicas, as pessoas procuram inovação noutros sítios", defendeu."Quanto a este tema, o assunto é muito maior do que a Web Summit. Com as mudanças de que falámos, o que nos permitiu foi forcar-nos no evento e não em nós. Não devemos ser o centro da história porque o centro da história são os participantes e as empresas", concluiu.

A maior cimeira tecnológica da Europa tem uma nova cara como CEO, Katherine Maher. Esta segunda-feira, é o primeiro dia da Web Summit, que fica marcada pelas pesadas desistências de grandes empresas tecnológicas e pela ausência de grandes nomes da política portuguesa, como o Presidente da República, Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa. O evento termina na quinta-feira, dia 16 de novembro. Mas, até lá, quem e o que podemos esperar? See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

With inflation dropping to its lowest levels in two years across the euro zone, 10 straight interest rate hikes from the European Central Bank seem to be having the desired effect. But attention now turns to stagnating growth across the bloc, with GDP (gross domestic product) falling by 0.1 per cent between July and September. And with Ireland having the largest quarterly decline in GDP (-1.8 per cent) in the third quarter, the State's highly volatile GDP numbers were cited as one of the factors in the overall decline. As Cliff Taylor explains, Ireland “had an extraordinary run, we're returning to earth”.And Ciarán Hancock is also joined on this episode by Irish Times business and technology journalist, Ciara O'Brien, to discuss three companies facing different challenges - X, formerly known as Twitter, has been making headlines as it is now reportedly worth less than half of what Elon Musk paid for the company a year ago. Elsewhere, Web Summit have appointed former chief executive of the Wikimedia Foundation, Katherine Maher, as their new chief executive. Maher's appointment comes after the recent resignation of former CEO Paddy Cosgrave, following the backlash to comments he made on social media on the conflict in Gaza.And one of Dublin's biggest office tenants, WeWork, are planning to file for bankruptcy, accord to reports in the US. The office sharing group is reportedly struggling with a massive debt pile and hefty losses.Produced by John Casey, with JJ Vernon on sound. Hosted on Acast.

Comment les entreprises doivent-elles communiquer sur le conflit israélo-palestinien ? La question met dans l'embarras de nombreux dirigeants, soucieux de ménager à la fois leurs salariés et leurs affaires. Une question sans réponse évidente, qui se pose dans toutes les entreprises. Dans celles qui sont présentes dans la région, dans les multinationales, comme dans les entreprises installées dans un pays où le conflit est clivant au sein de l'opinion publique. Depuis quelques années, les dirigeants réagissent de plus en plus à l'actualité. Ils sont quasiment contraints de s'engager publiquement au nom de leur entreprise.Pendant la pandémie, leurs salariés comme leurs clients voulaient savoir ce qu'ils pensaient du télétravail ou du vaccin. Ils ont aussi donné leur avis, suite à l'agression russe contre l'Ukraine. Et aux États-Unis, ils se sont même engagés en faveur du droit à l'avortement et du mouvement Black Lives Matter. Des causes qui unissent une majorité de citoyens. Mais avec cette nouvelle guerre entre l'État hébreu et le Hamas, l'exercice prend un tour beaucoup plus périlleux.DémissionEn témoigne la démission ce week-end de Paddy Cosgrave, le fondateur du Web Summit de Lisbonne, pour ses prises de positions trop hostiles à Israël. « Les crimes de guerre, écrit-il la semaine dernière sur X, sont des crimes de guerre même lorsqu'ils sont commis par des alliés et devraient être dénoncés pour ce qu'ils sont. » Les propos de ce ressortissant irlandais scandalisent la tech israélienne. Immédiatement, les entreprises concernées annulent leur venue au salon prévu à la mi-novembre. Il s'excuse, comprenant un peu tard que son avis de citoyen met en péril le Web Summit. Mais malgré ses regrets, cela ne s'arrête pas là. Les multinationales emboîtent le pas à la tech israélienne. Intel, Siemens, Google, Meta – la maison mère de Facebook – se retirent à leur tour du Web Summit. Le mal est fait. On verra dans les prochains jours si la démission de Paddy Cosgrave sauve l'événement de l'accident industriel.McDonald's dans une posture délicateLa branche israélienne a spontanément distribué des plateaux repas gratuits aux militaires de Tsahal. Une démarche condamnée par la rue arabe, des restaurants McDo ont été saccagés en Turquie. Et une démarche condamnée également par les filiales des pays arabes.Elles se sont désolidarisées du geste de la franchise israélienne et prennent le parti des Palestiniens en promettant des dons pour subvenir aux besoins des habitants de la bande de Gaza. Des initiatives prises aussi bien dans le golfe, à Oman, en Arabie saoudite, aux Émirats arabes unis, qu'en Malaisie, en Turquie et au Liban. La maison mère de la chaîne de restauration rapide reste mutique, au nom de l'indépendance de ces filiales.Ne pas réagir peut être contre-productifMcDonald's fait partie des entreprises les plus ciblées par les appels au boycott. Sur les réseaux sociaux, la liste des entreprises mises à l'index est déjà pléthorique : Coca Cola, Danone, Nestlé, Starbucks, KFC, L'Oréal, Disney y figurent, pour ne citer que les plus connues.Ces marques sont parfois ciblées de longue date par le mouvement palestinien de boycott BDS, qui appelle à fuir les entreprises jugées trop proches d'Israël ou trop favorables à ses intérêts économiques. La liste a été actualisée avec la mention des propos ou des actes récents répertoriés depuis le début de cette nouvelle guerre de l'État hébreu contre le Hamas.À lire aussiGuerre Israël-Hamas: quinze jours d'un conflit sans précédent

This month on The Red Chair, and with excellent timing considering the upcoming Web Summit conference, we spoke to Paddy Cosgrave! Paddy worked in a number of startups before launching the annual Web Summit conference in Dublin, which has grown rapidly since 2010 - having been in Lisbon since 2016 - and has seen him listed as one of the most influential people in tech. Paddy has been coined a "master connector" by WIRED and a "master of revels" by the Financial Times. His trademark has become bringing tech founders together, not just to participate in a 9-5 tech conference, but to join curated networking experiences such as f.ounders, which allows founders to enjoy the event's after-hours pub crawls.
