We were honored to represent Madeira at the Web Summit Lisbon 2024, one of the largest and most influential technology events in the world!
This global stage was the perfect opportunity to shine a spotlight on FootAR and how we’re transforming sports engagement through augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR). With a focus on enhancing fan experiences, our platform combines technology with a deep understanding of what makes sports so exciting for fans worldwide.
One of the highlights of our presence at the Web Summit was being featured in Diário de Notícias as one of the 15 most promising Portuguese Startups attending the event! 🎉 Seeing our work recognized in such a prominent publication motivates us to keep driving innovation forward.

Showcasing the Future with FootAR
At the Startup Portugal stand, visitors had the chance to experience the FootAR App and see firsthand how we’re transforming sports engagement. Highlights of our platform include:
- Real-time stats and analytics: Fans stay informed with dynamic data that updates instantly.
- Immersive 3D visualizations: AR allows users to see the game from a whole new perspective.
- Social integration: Our platform creates a community-driven experience that connects fans everywhere.
One of the features that generated the most excitement is our solution for sportsbooks integration. Traditionally, sportsbook users rely on static field visualizations to follow games. With FootAR, we’ve revolutionized this experience—our platform allows users to see players moving in 3D, delivering a more dynamic, interactive, and engaging way to follow live matches. This not only enhances the user experience but also sets a new standard for sportsbooks globally.
The Power of Connection at the Web Summit
With over 70,000 attendees from around the globe, Web Summit was much more than an exhibition — it was a hub for collaboration, learning, and inspiration. We had the privilege of meeting industry leaders, investors, media, and fellow innovators who are shaping the future of technology.
The connections we made underscored the growing demand for innovative fan experiences and highlighted the potential of our solutions. Through live demos and an exciting pitch, we demonstrated how the FootAR App transforms sports engagement, offering real-time stats, immersive 3D visualizations, and a dynamic social component.
Looking Forward
Web Summit was not just an event — it was a milestone. It showcased how much potential lies ahead. A heartfelt thank you to everyone who visited our stand, shared insights, and gave us the motivation to keep pushing forward.
As we continue this journey, we’re excited to build the future of sports engagement together with our partners, users, and supporters. Keep following our updates as we take FootAR to new heights! 🚀
