After an exhausting and exhilarating 3 days of Collision, we wrapped up the event with an interview with Paddy Cosgrave, Founder and CEO of Web Summit and Collision, two of the fastest growing tech events in the world.
The event which was hosted in Toronto since 2019 drew attendance of 36,378 from 118 countries in Toronto.
In addition, a record-breaking 30 percent of startups this year this year are
• women-founded; 41 percent of attendees are women; 36 percent of speakers are women
• 1,727 startups and partners from 76 countries and almost 30 industries exhibited
• CA$188 million has been injected into the Toronto economy over the course of the three in-person Collision events since 2019
We spoke to Paddy about the impetus of WebSummit and the important initiatives to improve representation in tech: The Indigenous Attendee Program and Amplify representing more than 130 startups as part of the commitment to prioritize underrepresented communities. He shared his views on what makes this year different than previous years and why the decision to bring Collision back to Toronto in 2024.
Stay tuned for amazing interviews from Collision incoming!
