The Belarusian Booth at Web Summit is a dedicated exhibition and community space representing the global Belarusian tech, startup, and venture capital ecosystem — not the state, but the people: founders, engineers, investors, creatives, and ecosystem builders united by shared values of openness, innovation, and entrepreneurship.

First initiated in 2025 for the first time in Web Summit history, the booth became a powerful symbol of a distributed Belarusian nation building globally across borders and markets. It united hundreds of Belarusians and international partners through startup showcases, founder spotlights, discussions, networking events, and strategic meetings.

In 2026, we aim to replicate and scale this successful experience even further, strengthening the visibility, connectivity, and international collaboration of the Belarusian innovation community worldwide.

Operating throughout Web Summit from November 9–12, 2026, the booth will once again serve as the main meeting point and home base for the Belarusian community at the summit.

We are individuals, companies and organizations founded by Belarusians, now working across borders - building, creating, pushing forward. We believe in openness, creativity, free enterprise, dignity, and in supporting each other across borders.

Drinks and food will flow, and yes - secret guests will join us, people who’ve shaped ecosystems and inspired revolutions in tech and beyond. This gathering is for those who care enough to act — the founders, designers, engineers, educators, and investors who believe Belarusians worldwide can co-create something bigger than distance or politics.

If you have your own vision of how to unite Belarusians in tech worldwide, we want you in the room.

Not a reception. Not a networking event.
This is a meeting of builders — Belarusians who lead initiatives, startups, funds, and creative projects around the world.
We gather to connect, spark ideas, and play our way into a common future.

The goal is simple: to weave together the distributed Belarusian tech club and start shaping what collaboration could look like across borders.

We’ll mix strategy with play, ideas with actions, and leave Lisbon with new allies and real next steps.
